Installation of Network Magic on Existing Networks.

Can Network Magic be installed on existing small networks set up using the Windows software? If so does it just incorporate all of the existing network information into the Network Magic software configuration? If it cannot be installed on existing networks as a management upgrade, what must be done to make it installable, does the existing network need to be eliminated?

Yes and Yes ...

Network Magic or Home Network Defender is Blocking Uploads

I removed my primary hard drive and installed a new, faster larger one. When I installed Network Magic I have been getting some significant problems:
1. Speed test shows 0 Kbps upload speed and the gauge shows nothing uploaded on the Network Magic Speed Test
2. I can NOT upload my videos to my external video publishing site - the Vimeo uploader is erroring out and crashing. When I try the browser tool, I am getting an error that says I can not upload the file.
I did not have this problem before I reinstalled Network Magic. My other computers do not have this problem.
I am using:
Network Magic Pro Version 5.5.9195.0-pure0
The OS on this computer is Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2
The internet connection is CABLE via Atlantic Broadband
The Router is a Linksys WRT610Nv2 Fireware 2.00.00 B05
The computer's virus software is NETSAFE Security Suite from Altantic Broadband - Firewall is NOT active. ( this is different than my other computer that is on the network, and it different than my prior installation configuration on my old hard drive - it used McAfee.

RE: can not remove a device from Network Magic 4.9 Network map

My network map shows an old computer that has NOT been on the network for over 1 year....yet it still is shown as being "on" the network. That computer I listed as being an Intruder, and while it does show up in red on the map, I can NOT find out how to remove it. When I refresh the network map, it continues to show...yet I KNOW it is not there....
Can you tell me how to get rid of this non-existant computer please? When I right/click same I never get that "remove this device" option....
Jim

Hi, try doing a power cycle on your router and modem, and see if the computer disappears from the map.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Will Airport Express find network printers on existing network on Linksys Router

If Airport express is connected to an existing network hosted on Linksys router, will it discover the network printers already on the network?
I hope to use Airport Express to extend my network to iPhones to print and to play music.

If Airport express is connected to an existing network hosted on Linksys router, will it discover the network printers already on the network?
If an AirPort Express is configured to "join" an existing wireless network, it will perform as a wireless client and not as a router. It cannot discover other network printers and share them out. Instead if you connect a printer to the Express' USB port it can share out this printer.
Also, the Express cannot extend a wireless network provided by a non-Apple router ... at least not if the connection between routers will be wireless.

Network Magic link of network printer to iPad

there are two iPads on my network. I have a shared HP8500A printer that the laptops print to, and the network printer shows up on the ipads, but will not print or cannot seem to find the printer as it shows it is looking for the printer, but nothing ever happens. If I chose a photo on the ipad, the printer comes up and prints when you click print. However, I cannot print any other docments or web content off the ipad. any ideas?

you mentioned that you tried to edit the NETWORKLIB.XML file how did you do it? How many computers are using network magic? I have encountered this before wherein the network map will not sure the devices correctly.
Try the link below but once you are done doing the steps you need to turn off the computer and move on to the next until you finish doing the necessary steps. Once done with all the computers reboot the router and then turn on your computers one by one to see if that will help resolve the issue.

Network magic connection stopped working last night

Really need help with this.
My network magic suddenly yesterday stopped working in that it cannot contact the network magic website. This leads it to conclude that the internet is down, even though the connection is fine. This happened on all three of my computers. My browsers (mozilla and explorer) cannot seem to connect to the network magic website either. A product re-install on one of the computers went fine, but the problem still persists, despite a re-boot. Examined the hosts file manually and there are no entries that might cause a problem. The computers use different service provides and a different router. All three are vista ultimate 64 bit with service pack 2 (recently installed), have spyware doctor, spybot, and live care for security tools (as well as network magic). The live care firewall has the correct permissions for network magic. The network magic platform service is running properly.
Of course I cannot contact the network magic support team as I cannot access the website - this does not appear to be a known problem (did a search).
Peter

Peter,
Not only the Network Magic connection stopped, but if you try to connect with your Net2Go remote access website it's not there anymore. Not even if you try to connect with your computer that's hosting it.
As I understand it, when Cisco aquired Pure Networks they issued their last upgrade, and with it came the announcement that the latest version would no longer have the Net2Go feature. Indeed, they could choose to END Net2Go at their discretion. It would seem that this is the case. A shame, really. My clients have come to depend on being able to retrieve their material and email links to their clients as well. All Cisco had to do was provide a redirect, how much server power can that take up anyway? It was almost like having a web site, and it cost nothing. Sure was nice.
According to the End-Of-Life protocols as laid out by Cisco, they're supposed to give warning when there's a system they would no longer support, and they are supposed to get with you to help you ease into the replacement technology and give you several months to do so. Slamming the door wasn't supposed to be part of it.
So now we have to either go without because nobody offers anything remotely like it (I checked), or we can all get domain names and pay for web sites and hosting. Thanks a lot, Cisco.

Problem with Network Magic/Connecting to my PS3

Hello!
I've really been enjoying my Cisco Wireless-G WRT-54G2 for the last two months, using it as a wireless hookup to my PS3. However, yesterday morning sometime something on my PC hiccupped or something . . . it's an older '04 Sony Vaio- whenever I try to install Windows XP MS Service Pack 2 (it has 1)- it goes into terminal slowdown . . . but it hasn't had any problems until this morning, when I lost the internet connection on both the land line connected to my PC and the wireless one connected to my PS3. I don't know really what happened, though the only new error that seems to have come up is that my Norton AntiVirus is thtrowing out an "Auto-Protect" error that can't seem to get resolved . . .
So, in order to troubleshoot, since my wireless modem wasn't covered by Cox Communications, I was forced to unhook it from the system and hook the ethernet line directly from the cable modem into my PC (instead of the wireless router). Eventually the problem was solved. Unfortunately, things did not return back to normal when I hooked up the wireless router again. The lights are flashing that the connection on BOTH my wireless connection and my hardline connection to my PC are going strong, but only my PC connection is working. My PS3 is programmed for the system but always gets a DNS when it tries to do anything.
When I use network magic, it inform me that "You are connected to a New Network" called "Local Area Connection - Router" and I cannot access the Map and Status Center features because of this.
What a wonderful way to be spending my turkey day!!
Any suggestions? Is the Norton AntiVirus screwing me up? I'd appreciate any assistance anyone could provide.

It is fairly easy and you should be up before Turkey day
If you know your PS3 has the correct security key for Network Magic (WEP or preferrably WPA WPA2 ) then follow this.
Open Network Magic>Click on (Network) Tasks>Click on Add a Device>(I have network lock on always to prevent intruders) it should disable your network lock>Follow the prompts, make sure your PS3 is on and click on internet or something to make it grab an IP addy, and show it's MAC addy, as well>
When Network Magic's "add a Device Wizard" starts looking for your PS3's MAC address, and you see a MAC address appear below the "searching" line>
you should be fine(and be able to click Finish) then, as it will be included as a device with access to your Router>It should re-engage your Network Lock.
Kind regards,
Dagra
PS. I just started using Network Magic about 2 weeks ago, and got the 5.5 pro, for my home network. It took me about 30 minutes to get it all connected including my PS3, but then I'm an IT Tech.

Network Magic & WRT320N

I can not seem to set up security with my WRT320N and Network Magic. When I try to set up security and it says my router security is not enabled. I have entered my router settings and nothing seems to help. My problem is I have a lot of intruders that are logging into my wireless network and it is freezing a program that I am running on one older PC. I finally gave up after using the support line with linksys several times.Thanks for any guidence in this matter.

Also have an HP c309a printer that the router is messing up. The printer hangs up if its been idle for a while. Have to unplug it to get it to work again. If I unplug the router from the printer, it works fine.
Do you think uninstalling Network Magic will fix these problems?
Is there any reason to keep Network Magic installed?
Thanks,
Carol
Hi Carol,
Network Magic is a Network Monitoring Tool and helps makes Sharing Folders and Printers easier.
You don't need Network Magic installed. However all changes you made with Network Magic, like Sharing files and folders as well as Printers will be undone.
Please Read BEFORE YOU POST and post back with the requested information, including unplugging from the Router. How is it plugged into the Router?

Network Magic 4.9x installation on Windows 7

I have purchased a copy of Network Magic 4.X and recently purchased a new desktop running Windows 7. I downloaded the latest NM 4.9.8225 version and it will not install on Windows 7. My previous computer running Windows XP SP3 had no difficultly with NM 4.9X.
I have tried to install NM4.9 on Windows 7 desktop using Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode but no success.
Is NM4.9 compatible with Windows 7?
Do I need to upgrade to NM 5.X?
The desktop has an ADSL router D-Link 502T and Linksys Wireless G router supporting 2 other Notebooks on the NM network running both Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista without a problem.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi karaka29211,
No, I have installed Network Magic 4.9.8225.0 on two different computers, Laptop and Desktop with Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit version with D-Link Routers and have not had any problems installing the program at all.
I have not used Compatibility Mode at all. I just the program normally.

Hi PSYCHSON,
Rerun the Installation program for Network Magic. It should give you options for Repair or Remove.
If it does not, then simply reinstall overtop the existing installation. Reboot and go back to Add or Remove Programs and remove it.

Major instability with Network Magic for Mac

First of all, I'm a long time LELA user which has been great for quickly gaining an understanding of what is connected to the network. I like being able to see both connected and disconnected devices.
I thought I would give Network Magic a shot since that is where the future direction is headed. It has great potential but right now is a major pain in the rear. I have a rather large home network with roughly 15 devices connected or disconnected at any given time. At first the network map worked like LELA in that it would show all devices disconnect or connected. I have two Mac laptops that have different IP and MAC addressses depending on whether they are connected via wired or wireless.
After installing the Mac client on both Mac laptops that's when the frustration began. It seems that with the Mac client software running on both Macs NM5.5 only wants to recognize one on the map at a time. Every few minutes I get an alert that a new device has been detected. But what really happens is the existing laptop drops off the map and the other will pop on. On the Mac itself it automatically triggers the Network Magic screen to popup which is a major annoyance. A few minutes will go by and then the process repeats itself. This laptop will drop of the network map and the other will pop back on. Again, this pops up the Network Magic window on the 2nd laptop which is an annoyance.
Furthermore, when one laptop drops off the... printers that are shared from another Windows PC are no longer available and accessible on the Mac. Rest assured... waiting another few minutes the process will repeat itself.
The other major downside is after installing the Mac clients the network map only shows the name of the Mac laptop and is always recognized as one device regardless of IP or MAC address. I no longer have two seperate IP/MAC devices showing on the map depending on whether it is a wired or wireless connection. I cannot look at the map and quickly know whether the device is connected via wire or wireless. Thus when I print a hard copy of all my network devices and settings I dont' get to see the MAC address and details for the non-connected MAC/IP.
Finally, the Mac client does not have the ability to "generate daily computer reports" of the usage.
At this point I am forced to uninstall the Mac clients until a solution for this problem is provided. I'm glad I checked out the trial version first!

Also for the Linksys folks... I'm not sure how all of the below information is relevant but if it gets you to resolve the problems and add the necessary features then great:

Attempting to extend wifi w/ Airport Express breaks existing network

I am attempting to wirelessly extend/repeat a Wi-Fi network that is running from a 4th generation time capsule using a 1st Generation N Airport Express (model A1264).
Whenever i configure the airport express to extend the network, it breaks the network. all existing connections get dropped, the SSID is seen but you cannot connect to it.
If i unplug the airport express then everything works fine again.
both units are running the most recent firmware, i have done a factory reset on both units and set them up from scratch again.
i have confirmed i'm using the correct encryption (WPA2) and the proper key/password.
Any ideas? this doesn't make much sense aside from either the time capsule or airport express are defective.
thank you.

Windows.
somehow it magically fixed itself after leaving the airport express unplugged from power for 20 minutes.
after letting it sit unplugged for awhile it worked normally without needing to change any settings.
thanks for your response.

Network Magic 5.5......pure0, no internetspeed test available in your area

Hello all,
I purchased a LINKSYS router wrt160NL, it works fine under wind.wireless.zero.config. On the installation cd is the NETWORK MAGIC program. I installed it on all my computers. No problems. Then I upgraded to the latest version 5.5.9195.0-ReS. Since than the INTERNET SPEED TEST does not work anymore on one of the computers (my laptop). Also the pictogramm for the router is wrong (older type).
When I try to start the speedtest I get the responce "this is not possible from your location, NM will let you know when it will be".
Can someone help me?
My cofiguration:
Cable modem->wrt160nl-> 4 computers (all wireless54g adapters). (on all computers NM 5.59195.0-ReS)
With kind regards,
