Web site for home networking?

Does anyone know a good web site which will 'talk' you through setting
up a home network?

I was sure that www.practicallynetworking.co.uk was the one but looks
like that's all changed now.

TIA


cheers,
Len

Searching Google for "how to set up a home network" (in quotes) returns
a Bristol University page as the first hit - the "Further Information"
links at the bottom seem to be quite helpful.
But why do you need the web when you have newsgroups? :-)

Rob,
It's not for me! I do this sort of thing as a job. It's for a
friend who is miles away, nor very IT literate and wants to set up a
small network. Just wanted a noddies guide to take him through it all
instead of spening hours on the phone !!

If he is so thick he can't Google for "setting up a network" himself then
there is no hope!

I put some notes together for another group:
http://www.jgaines.eu/html/networkin...computers.html

It may be a starting point for him?

Know what, I don't kill file many people because of their attitude (Hi
Conor) almost all of them post useful stuff quite often and after all
everyone has bad days but you're just a complete waste of skin with a
real bad attitude. I've not seen a single post from you that's been
polite or helpful.
Bye.

And I thought the Newgroups were supposed to be "helpful" !

I just wonder what you did before you became so WONDERFUL!

REMBER we all have to start SOMEWHERE! Even the "THICKOS"
