For courses in Networking in two- and four-year colleges and schools of technology; also invaluable as a preparation text for COMPTIA's Network+ exam and several Microsoft core exams. This easy-to-understand text combines learning about the networking of computers with installing, configuring, using, and troubleshooting Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. It covers everything that students need to know about the installation and configuration of a local area network (including topologies, cable types and cable infrastructure, Ethernet and Token Ring, analog modems, cable modems, DSL modems, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM and remote access technology); and provides comprehensive information about how networking technology, protocols, and services work together. It includes hundreds of review questions and many hands-on exercises that reinforce the text's contents; as well as web links throughout the book that encourage further study.
