O'Reilly Released Home Networking: The Missing Manual

It all started when personal computers and peripherals became more affordable. Suddenly, the single Mac or PC household turned into a multiple computer household, with a myriad of peripherals. To connect everything and share resources has become a serious need. Throw in different operating systems and wireless technology like Apple's AirPort and the prospect can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, Scott Lowe has written a guide in Home Networking: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly, US $24.95) for anyone interested in setting up their own home network and reaping the rewards. The benefits of networking continue to drive this growing demand for the home from going wireless and sharing files and peripherals, to displaying digital photos on the TV and networking TiVo.
