"Home Networking Simplified "is a straightforward, graphic-based home networking reference book for the everyday user. Home Networking Simplified takes the novice user from basic internet connectivity to a truly networked home in step by step fashion. This book will be used by beginners who will read the entire book and by those with more experience who can drop in on latter chapters that begin just beyond their expertise, and as an approachable reference by virtually anyone interested in home networking. The book will begin with the most basic information to provide a solid foundation. The chapters build on the previous chapter. Each chapter builds out and expands the home network and feature set already designed and implemented by the user. This book will benefit users whose expertise ranges from those with no home network experience/ knowledge who are connecting to the internet for the first time, up to the more advanced users who already have a home network and want to get the most out of it. "Home Networking Simplified "will be in a format similar to Cisco Networking Simplified and use many of the same devices, such as At-A-Glance Sheets and Whiteboard Illustrations. The new feature in this book is the "Geek Squad Files." The Geek Squad is a nationally branded and growing company of troubleshooting professionals that makehouse calls for various computer problems. This feature will help users further understand home networking in an easy-to-understand and fun format. Jim Doherty a Marketing Manager for Cisco Systems.
