I would like to 'challenge' somebody to write about computer networking. I notice we have one - 'An Introduction to Networking'A1002240 but this doen't cover the hardware and it is quite old.
I am totally confused by the hardware required; - routers, cables, switches, network cards etc. It would be very good if someone could give an uptodate introduction to this subject.

I would agree. I have recently installed a computer networking system so I could probably write about this myself (when I have time).
Of course, wireless solutions would also need to be covered, which are more expensive.

Actually, I've just taken a look at the referenced networking article, and, when it's complete, it looks as though it would cover everything...

Hey there Baryonic being,
Yes the original article had great potential but it was written in August 2003. This concerns me but I will try to contact that researcher to see if they are able to continue their article.

oops, that reads like I am volunteering to write the article.
I would be happy to consult on it, but time constraints mean that I am not submitting anything to peer review at the moment, so I couldn't write the article.
