With a variety of systems to choose from, networking no longer only applies to a single system. Both individuals and companies need to know how to connect machines running on hybrid systems. Network and System Integration For Dummies teaches you how to connect hybrid machines and operating systems so that they communicate, print, and share files.

The CD-ROM will provide invaluable networking tools for integrating Windows, Unix/Linux, and Netware systems, and is designed to get machines up and communicating with each other in just a few hours.
