A good XP networking book please?

Can anyone recommend a good book to be bought that will cover networking
(probably wireless), internet sharing and user accounts? I have never
networked before but do not consider myself a beginner on the PC. I have
checked websites (practicallynetworked.com for example) and they are
good but I always like to have something in my hand, so to speak.

I always have problems running older software (ie kids games mostly)
from limited user accounts.

Thanks in advance,
R.

Don't have a book to recommend but wanted to mention the articles at the
Windows Expert Zone. I used Barb Bowman's articles (along with the
practicallynetworked site) for my at home wireless network and found them
to be very helpful.
