It's not for me! I do this sort of thing as a job. It's for a
friend who is miles away, nor very IT literate and wants to set up a

instead of spening hours on the phone !!

So introduce him to newsgroups. Only he can't read this one or he'll
know you think he's a noddy. :-)
Did you have a look at the links? I'm not sure what's good for
total newbies because I've been messing around with small networks for
so long I probably take stuff for granted.

Does anyone know a good web site which will 'talk' you through setting
up a home network?

I was sure that www.practicallynetworking.co.uk was the one but looks
like that's all changed now.

Here are a couple of sites that might help. Have a look and see if they
meet your/his needs.
