The Easy Guide To Computer Networks [PDF]

May. 31st, 2009 By Simon Slangen

networkSetting up a network, wired or wireless, isn’t an easy task – it’s far from it. Most of the time, this involves fooling around out of your domain and ending up with a network that misses a few corners.

To get the job right, you’re expected to be up to terms with the technical network mumbo jumbo, although most everyday Joe’s and don’t know their RDPs from their UTPs.

To get you on your way and help you set up your networks, as well as with all that comes after, MakeUseOf proudly presents the latest PDF release – The MakeUseOf Network Manual.

In 33 illustrated pages, Stefan Neagu from tuxgeek.me familiarizes us with the networking knowhow, from Adapters to Zimbabwe-proxies. It’s a great place to start off as a newbie, or to pick up as an already more advanced user.

Included are step-by-step guides on how to set up different kinds of networks, and how to use them to share internet, files and printers with other computers. Learn how to secure your connection and location, and how to access private networks.

This guide should suffice to transform you into an amateur network admin. On upcoming parties, you’ll be able to brag about WPA2 security and Virtual Private Networks. But please, don’t – before long, everyone will rely on you to solve their network problems.

Download The MUO Network Manual now and start toying around! If you liked this one, don’t forget to check out our other available PDF releases.
