Over the course of the weeks and months to come, we will attempt to explain and educate you about what the great world of networking is all about. At the same time we are glad to welcome Curtis MacAulay who will be joining TS’ editorial staff as our new Networking specialist.

This first article is meant to be served right as an introduction to networking (http://www.techspot.com/articles/networking101/index.shtml).

It's about time somebody explained networking from the ground up. I'm very interested to see more on this topic...
