Millions of offices are equipped with two or more computers, but few are taking full advantage of their hardware investments. As Aubrey Pilgrim demonstrates, PCs are most valuable when connected together as a local area network. That way, users can share information, work projects, and printing tasks. For businesses with limited computer budgets, small PC networks can be assembled quickly and easily, without the help of expensive consultants. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamentals of computer networking, Pilgrim describes a full range of LAN options and helps readers determine their networking needs. After describing available network hardware and software, he provides step-by-step, illustrated instructions for building and/or installing: a 386 or 486 network server; low-cost XT or 286 workstations; disk storage media; LAN data backup systems; bus-, star-, or ring-type LAN configurations; printers and printer sharing systems; and fax machines, modems, and e-mail systems. Pilgrim reviews several software products designed for network use: word processors, databases, spreadsheets, accounting, communications, desktop publishing, utilities, and more. Finally, he addresses the all-important management issues, including staff training, LAN supervision techniques, LAN management software, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance.
