History
Carrying instructions between calculation machines and early computers was done by human users. In September, 1940 George Stibitz used a teletype machine to send instructions for a problem set from his Model K at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to his Complex Number Calculator in New York and received results back by the same means.

Try some web site of microsft
also do some cources like CCNA , MCSE, LINUX etc from some where than u will learn basics.

Good Luck! NO, I'm kidding. I don't know if there is anything. Try to go on a website such as amazon.com where they sell books and cds and stuff and see if there is anything on there that you could buy. Even the library may have some books that would provide pretty good pictures for you to look at.

Are you setting up a network for public use, your private web page, or just a home network. A home network is pretty easy and if you buy a router most will have a tech support number with a real person that will guide you the whole way. As for anything more complicated, either take a class or go to half price books and look through the resources.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on just how far you are wanting to take it.

This is a great book and they dont speak tech talk. If you want this as a certification, get a book called network + by Comptia.
