  Book Information

Many homes and small businesses now have more than one computer. These could be a mixture of desktop and laptop or just one type of machine. Using the built-in facilities of Windows and some low-cost hardware it is possible to join individual PCs into an effective network, but you have to put up with the hassle of installing the hardware and the inconvenience of all the extra connecting cables.

Fortunately, the development of wireless networking equipment, or wi-fi as it has become known, now gives you the advantage of networking without any of these problems. You can easily share music files across the network, use all your PCs with a single Internet connection, printout documents on a laptop using the office printer, surf the Internet while relaxing in the garden, and much more besides.

Like any new technology, it may appear at first to be a little confusing, but with the help of this book you should be able to master this new and exciting aspect of computing.
