Can anyone suggest a good guide for setting up small to midsize networks for
SOHO or small business? I'm looking for a resource that describes how to
connect the LAN infrastructure to the Internet, setup DNS name registration,
best practices, WAN connection and routing, and the like.

Thanks!

Let me amend this - I'm looking for more than just 5-10 PC's using Internet
Connection Sharing.

By small business I mean the local network has at least 1 or more servers,
50+ workstations, utilizes switches, a router and firewall, and connects to
the Internet via ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, etc. The company would have a
registered Domain name.

If you are using MS products, have you checked out their website? They
have a host of deployment guides, all free. Also, the resource kits for
both 2000 server and professional and for xp are available online at ms
website. For books, your best bet is to go to amazon and check out
reader reviews.
