I wanted to reconnect my network printer on Windows 10. But this book just said "use your work group...". Does that make me less than a " dummy? " I think not. But I have a nonrefundable book and no use for it. My printer is connected now. Another lesson in life, I guess.

Was expecting a book for someone that knows nothing or very little about networking but was disappointed when I read it. It doesn't teach the basics (in my opinion)

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

I wanted a book to teach me about the intricacies of networking, but this is more helpful to someone tasked with being a network administrator of a very small business network. It does start out with some good basics but then launches off into basics for multiuser networks. I was hoping for some real expertise on the setup and operation of home networks.
