Features: This book is organized from three perspectives: why to network, how to network, and what can be done after networking. It fully reflects the author's experience and lessons learned from practical networking, providing excellent reference material for readers' learning and improvement. The book features unique content, strong practicality, broad coverage, highlighted key points, and a well-structured hierarchy. In terms of selection, it breaks away from the purely theoretical explanation model, primarily arranging content based on engineering practice requirements and processes, emphasizing practical capabilities. It not only provides network environment information but also introduces extensive installation experience. Detailed explanations are given at critical points or places prone to issues, and comparative analyses are provided for easily confused content. The entire book tightly embodies the combination of theory and practice, highlighting practicality, ensuring that users can truly master networking technology after studying it. The book covers topics such as networks and local area networks (LANs), LAN types and composition, hardware selection and software systems, TCP/IP protocols, network card installation and configuration, interconnecting computers, peer-to-peer networks and client/server connections, hardware networking and troubleshooting for Linux and Netware, resource sharing and usage for Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows 2000, network printer installation, configuration, printing, and management, network management, network security issues, key points, standards, composition, levels, and design and construction of structured cabling, and engineering case studies in network design. This book is a practical operation guide, written for users who are currently networking or already have networks, offering significant reference value. The primary target audience is network engineers, but it is also suitable for readers in computer-related fields.
