Upgrading and Repairing Networks is a comprehensive guide to networking theory and operations for professional LAN administrators and serious students of computer networking. More than just a repair manual, Upgrading and Repairing Networks illustrates and explains the basic concepts of local area networking, examining the hardware, the software, and the protocol standards that combine to form an effective LAN.

With Upgrading and Repairing Networks, you can discover how your network works, how to deploy new products and services, and how to troubleshoot problems that can affect LAN performance. The book examines the major hardware and software platforms used on today's networks and covers upgrade procedures ranging from the installation of additional memory in a server to network client software upgrades.

My contribution to Upgrading and Repairing Networks began with the chapter on network backup technology. Soon after, I took over the lead authorship of the project. Ultimately, I took responsibility for the introduction, Appendix A, and for reviewing, editing, and rewriting chapters by several other authors, as well as for writing the following eight chapters:

"Overview of Network Systems and Services"
"The OSI Model: Bringing Order to Chaos"
"The Server Platform"
"The Workstation Platform"
"Major Network Types"
"Novell NetWare"
"Network Client Software for 32-bit Windows"
"Backup Technology: Programs and Data"
