Back Cover: Systems Requirements Incorrect

The system requirements for this book do not state that two computers are required for the practice exercises. However, you will need two computers for the networking exercises in this book.

To complete the lessons, you must have two computers, the first capable of running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 and the second capable of running both Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 and Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

Both computers must have the following minimum configuration:

486/33 or higher Intel-based processor
16 MB of RAM (32 MB recommended)
A minimum of 450 MB of available hard disk space on the first computer
A minimum of 350 MB of available hard disk space on the second computer
SVGA display adapter and monitor capable of 256 colors
Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Network adapter card and related cables
One 3.5" high-density floppy disk drive
CD-ROM drive
Sound card and speakers (optional)
Serial port (optional - for the RAS practice)
Null modem cable for testing RAS (optional)

For those who do not have a null-modem cable, a simulation for RAS is included with the course.

NOTE: Both computers must have existing Microsoft operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, or Windows NT 3.x. We recommend that one computer be able to run multimedia programs so that you can view the video included with the course. Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future printings of this book. If you have a later printing of the book, it may already contain the above corrections.
