About this title

Review

Until Windows 98 Resource Kit, the Resource Kit series has always been a quasi-definitive source of information for configuring and troubleshooting Windows. Anyone who does it for a living is almost certain to own a copy. But if you've found that past editions of the Resource Kit covered everything under the sun except the problem that you were trying to solve at the moment, you'll be pleased with this edition, which easily surpasses previous Resource Kits in the depth of coverage and the detailed explanations. The book's massive 1,750-page bulk is divided up into seven major sections covering enterprise deployment and installation, system configuration, networking (including remote access and Windows 98's new Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol virtual private networking features), Internet and telecommunications, system administration, performance tuning and the architecture of Windows 98. The bundled CD-ROM contains a collection of nifty diagnostic tools, hardware compatibility lists, card troubleshooting info and the complete e-text of the book. The Resource Kit is clearly aimed at the professional administrator and many sections are only relevant to Windows deployment on business networks. But advanced computer-users will also find invaluable information about many tasks that they'll need to perform. --Jake Bond
