For more information about LANs, browse through the fine illustrations in How Networks Work by Derfler and Freed (Ziff-Davis Press, 1998). For answers to your technical questions about networks, refer to Novell's Encyclopedia of Networking by Kevin Shafer (Novell Press, 1997) or Werner Feibel's The Network Press Encyclopedia of Networking (Sybex, 1999), which includes a CD-ROM and provides a comprehensive discussion and analysis of networking. Yet another exceptional resource on networking is Tom Sheldon's Encyclopedia of Networking with CDROM (McGraw-Hill, 1999). On the Web, connect to www.internetwk.com and then link to either Network Infrastructure and Services or Systems and Management for updates on the latest LAN technologies. The magazine Network World at www.nwfusion.com has excellent articles on networking.
