Networking AllinOne For Dummies Doug Lowe Books Reviews

• First class all-in-one book about networking principles.
  
  However, buyers planning to set up a small Windows peer-to-peer or home wireless network should probably look elsewhere.
  
  The focus of this book is on larger switched Ethernet networks in a business or academic setting.
• If you want Windows networking info, then this book is probably fine. But if you're wanting to learn Unix, Linux, etc., then not so much. The book sort of pretends to cover all flavors, but in actuality, very little info is here for anything other than Windows. Although there are chapters and specific cases citing Windows, nearly all the generic information is also about Windows ONLY.
• As a CIO I need to manage the people who manage my network. I don't need to know everything, but I need to know enough about what they suggest to make good decisions. This book is a good review for someone like me who has been out of school for years and needs to catch up on the latest options in networking. It is also a good primer before reading more specialized books. It helped me get a grasp on things before I started studying the differences between VMWare and Hyper-V.
• The book looks great but whoever packed these items together is an idiot. I ordered two items and they came in the extremely over sized box you see in the pictures. As a result, the new book I bought was bent up. Don't know who to blame here. Anyway, book information seems very good and interesting. I hope the person who packed this sobered up eventually.
  
  Update Looking through I am very disappointed at the small section dedicated to ipv6. At this point there should be much more in this than a few paragraphs. I will need to look elsewhere for more information regarding ipv6.
• My enthusiasm for Doug Lowe goes back many years, when I used his manuals as an IBM mainframe programmer. The style of this book is easy to read, with some geek humor. Some study of the book's organization produces facility in finding answers to my questions. There is also a website for this particular book that provides additional and timely information.
• If you feel overwhelmed by the subject of networking and don't know where to start, this is not a bad place. The nine mini-books contained in this all-in-one do a pretty good job of introducing the various subtopics in this very broad field. Some subjects are covered in more depth than others. I especially appreciated the chapter on Network Standards and Protocols and the mini-book on TCP/IP and the Internet. Some of the troubleshooting tips I thought were pretty lame.
  
  I am not generally one to buy dummies books. I don't like the way they tend to waste my time with silly jokes. Nonetheless, this book has been useful to give a gentle introduction to a complex and highly technical subject area. Now I know enough of the basics and terminology to proceed elsewhere with my studies. This book is not a keeper for me.
• This is a great book to get back into IT. I am learning a lot from this book. It's very helpful.
• I am an electrical engineer and my by brother,who is a mechanical engineer, is always asking my electronic/electric/networking questions so I got it for him. He loves it.
