- Foreword Windows XP has evolved from more than a decade of continued windows development. During this time, Microsoft has been committed to understanding and meeting the diverse needs of its customers, and XP is a truly usable operating system with unsurpassed functionality. Windows XP is the foremost desktop operating system all over the world. If one thing is missing though, it would be proper security. One of the most common things I hear from government and industry leaders is that there needs to be clear guidance, especially security guidance, for home and small office users for their PCs. By the time this book is printed, XP Service Pack 2 will be released and that will be a major step to meet the needs of Microsoft’s customers to make their lives better, safer, and their work easier. David Field proposed a textbook to Osborne to cover Internet security topics including anti-virus, personal firewalls, spam, and spyware. The original concept for the book was to be all security. Upon further reflection, Osborne felt readers wanted a broader coverage, covering topics such as home networking. The Windows XP operating system easily adapts to most networking solutions, but it helps to have a design or recipe showing technologies and tools such as wireless, cable, and DSL modems. Andy Brandt from PC World joined the project to help make the book richer than just security, to be a real how-to for home and small-office users. Andy adds tremendous enthusiasm and knowledge to the project also, and the combination is a great team. I’d like to extend congratulations to David and Andy for producing a truly useful book, a book that goes beyond telling the reader about things, but one that tells the reader how to do things. This book is an invaluable resource for both beginners and computing professionals and all levels in between. There’s no better guide for learning and mastering how to put Windows XP to work. It will be another fine book in Osborne’s “How to do Everything” series. xv PleaseCopyright © 2004 by McGraw-Hill Companies. www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. purchase PDF Split-Merge on Click here for terms of use.
- xvi How to Do Everything with Windows XP Home Networking What this has evolved into is 12 chapters ranging from anti-spyware to wiring the walls to privacy and identity protection. The chapters are written in a modular fashion—the information you need is right there, so you don’t have to keep skipping around. The book was written to the soon-to-be-released Service Pack 2, so it will be up to date for more than a year. This is a book that will find a place within arms reach of your computer. I’ve been using Windows operating systems since Windows 3.1 and XP is by far my favorite; everything is intuitive. This book will help you get the most out of your computer, and serves a real need. Make sure you read it and don’t just put it on the shelf!

- Acknowledgments Let me begin by thanking the ones who helped me the most with this work. Without the encouragement, support, and tolerance of my wife and girls, I would not have been able to do this. They inspire me to do the best job I can and find me the time to do it. To Megg, Agatha, Julie, Carolyn, Jody, Bob, and the others at Osborne: Thanks for helping us shape this work into something we can all learn from. Thanks to my co-author Andy Brandt for his advice, assistance, and especially his contacts. Thanks to Jon Jacobi of PC World for keeping our facts straight and to Bob Hillery of IntelGuardians for lending his voice to our work. Thanks, Stephen Northcutt of Sans Institute for your time and encouragement. Finally, thanks to Laura, Stacey, Sherry, Jackie, Katrina, and the others at Studio B for letting me keep writing on my mind. —Dave Field I’ve got to thank Clare, not only for tolerating extended late-night writing sessions, but for doing a hundred different supportive things a day, and for being the supra-genius editor-writer-designer that she is. I’d also like to thank PC World for paying me to do, and write about, some of the fun, offbeat technology stuff I also happen to love. My editors at OMH have been a terrific source of insight and a fount of ideas for which I’m grateful. I also want to thank Bob Garza for giving me a shove into the world of tech books (and indoor skydiving), and Dave Field for being such a networking mensch. Michael Lasky let me put sample chapters on the PC World cover disc, fulfilled my incessant battery requests, and repeatedly told me my second-favorite joke, which still makes me smile. xvii PleaseCopyright © 2004 by McGraw-Hill Companies. www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. purchase PDF Split-Merge on Click here for terms of use.
- xviii How to Do Everything with Windows XP Home Networking Finally, I’ve got a huge list of family, friends, and Internet acquaintances to thank, not only for their support and enthusiasm over this project, but also for putting up with my absence while I spent my every waking moment working on this book. I can’t name every one of you, just out of the environmental considerations of using all that ink, but you know who you are. I owe each of you a cookie (or, depending on what species you are, a carrot). —Andrew Brandt Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
