Reader Reviews
I bought this to set up a network between Win XP Pro and Win 2000 Pro. The first instructions I looked for turned out to be inaccurate, incomplete, and poorly cross-referenced or highlighted. The book's procedure and illustrations for the Network Setup Wizard do not match what Windows XP Pro actually does. Nor does the network setup disk work in Windows 2000, though the book says to use it with Win 2000. VERY disappointed.
