Network Magic Alerts

What's the chance Network Magic will recognize Norton Internet Security, 2010 and stop making me turn off 9 false alarms on the 3 PCs in my home network?

Hi,
None. Ignore the Alerts. Network Magic is no longer being updated.

3rd party antivirus and antispyware not detected by Network Magic

I have Norton Internet Security and PC Tool Spyware doctor installed on my laptop. The operating system is Vista 7 home premium. 2 Network magic alerts indicate that my antivirus and antispyware programs are turned off. These alerts refer to the programs that come with the operating system. It does not detect my 3rd party software programs which are up and running with no problems reported. Is there a way fix these alerts.
Solved!

Hi Henry4324,
I never heard of Vista 7 Home Premium.

AVG Not Recognized on Network Magic --Red Alert

How do I correct the red alert on Network Magic which says I have no antivirus installed when I just put on the new version of AVG? Now I have got Avast on the desktop and installed a new version with no red alert about it. Is AVG not a good antivirus? (Yes, I decided to try it on the laptop while keeping Avast on the desktop. Just wanted to see if there was any difference.) Will I need to uninstall AVG and put Avast on the laptop to keep this alert from being there? Thanks for any help! Susan

Network Magic is still being sold but Cisco is providing no support for it. I am still finding new uses for it in mapping and checking out my fairly complex home network. If it was updated and given some bug fixes it would be nice, and make me feel a lot better about Cisco. But because they've abandoned it and also the WRT610N router, I have finally stopped buying new Cisco products. While my 610N has buggy (IMHO) firmware, and always runs very hot due to poor ventilation, and has poor range since it no longer has external antennas like earlier models. I'd love the performance of the latest models but I won't take the chance.

I'm receiving "alerts" regarding antivirus & antispyware not installed on PC, when MS Security Essentials is-why

Am evaluating programs features and feasibility....looks good. BUT got several alerts for firewall, antivirus, antispyware and Win7 automatic updates. KIS2011 has a firewall, antivirus and antispyware features that are turned on and working. Does the program not recognize KIS2011? Also have Windows Update set to alert me but not auto d/l and am getting that alert. I figured how to turn these alerts off but why no recognition of KIS even though Win7 Action Center acknowledges KIS's firewall,antivirus and antispyware are turned on!!
Hi kcbear ,
Choose to Fix Alert and then Ignore the Alert. Network Magic is not being Supported as far as New Versions go.

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:

Old computer not working with Network Magic

Hi I am having issues activating my license for Newtwork Magic on one of my home computers the desktop. I am using Network Magic Pro Ver. 5.1.9005.0-Pure 0 There are a total of 3 computers on the network. 2 are Dell Laptops with Home Vista. The third computer is a Dell desktop Precision 330. The desktop is running Windows XP Pro, Ver 2002 SP3, Pentium 4 1800MHZ. I have cable internet, Surfboard modem, a D-link router DIR-655. The desktop has a D-Link DWA-552 XtremeN adapter.
I have installed and un-install Network Magic 4 times but I still recieve the same message and yes i ran a clean disk, manually deleted files and restarted the computer everytime. The message I am receiving is: "The Licensing server could not be contacted. Please make sure you have internet connection and try again."
I am at this time using the desktop to send this message so yes I am connected to the internet but Network Magic is not acknowledging the connection. On my computer, a laptop, Network Magic indicates the desktop is on the network but a alert states that Network Magic is not installed.
Thank you

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you gone through ALL these steps? What exactly HAVE you done to troubleshoot your issue?

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 have a variety of devices on my home network, such as 1 MAC, 5 Win 7 PCs, 4 Android mobile phones, 1 TV PVR, 1 BluRay Player, 1 TV, 2 Network Printers, 1 iPod Touch. All of them is appearing as the should except one of the mobile phones. It is being recognized as a Win 7 PC and I can not change the type to anything but a PC/Mac. I have tried changing the IP address and also completely resetting the network but to no avail. Network Magic also gives my Android phone (HTC Desire) the name of one of the connected Win 7 PC's. The IP address and MAC address recognized by Network Magic is the ones associated with the phone, not the PC. The PC is a laptop with both wired and wireless connection, but it doesn't help if I disable on or the other or both. I have also completely reinstalled Network Magic on the PC but the problem persists.
In addition to being annoying, the problem also prevents me from administrating a NetGear access point as it only accepts to be managed by the computer Network Magic is associating with my Androd phone. To work around that issue I hope I can do a factory reset on the access point and reconfigure it, but I'm not looking forward to it. I have bought Network magic Pro as my network management sw and would like to use it for that purpose.
Please anyone - HELP!

Dang! It's been a year since this was posted and nobody is able to HELP...
Anyway, I have the same problem here too... My Verizon Motorola Droid A855 is identifies as computer and Microsoft Windows 7 (workstation). I can't get the other options to categorize it as a cellphone. The thing is my Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-Ray DVD Player appears on the network map and I was able to put it under "Media Adapter," another pc appears as it should, a Hawking Wireless-G Range Extender as "Wireless Access Point," and a BoostMobile Motorola i1 Android cellphone appears as a "cellphone." So, how come my Motorola DROID A855 is detailed as under my pc name and operating system Windows & Professional? This is weird.
Anybody has an answer?

How to remove the "Index Page" option from the Router in Network Magic Pro 5.5.9195

I find it ironic and I can click on my router in the Map view of network magic, and the last option is "Index Page". This immediately loads my router setup in a browser window. It completely bypasses the router login and password. I do not want anyone to be able to start my PC, open Network Magic, and click this option and have access to my router. This is stupid. How do you turn this option off, remove it, or hide it?
Yes, I know, I could put a password on my PC, but I share it, with other family members, and at this time I don't have user accounts setup for them.
I am looking for a solution in Network Magic, not my OS.
Thanks,
Brian

Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.

Network Magic Confusion

Hi – My problem is that NWM is confused and thinks that I do not have a link to my router. Also, following changes to my network the map has not been updated. How do I get Network Magic to update it’s map?
Last night I tried to upgrade the FW on my BEFSR41 and ended up with a brick – not sure why, but I have been unable to revive it. I had this Dlink DI-624 which I was using simply as an access point, and I then moved over to be the Gateway. I was going to replace the BEFSR41 with another one, but instead got a WRT160 which I put in place of the DLink to act as the Access point. All network functionality seems fine, but Network Magic is confused. Besides not recognizing that the DLINK router has been moved, it also does not see the new Linksys WRT160. This is the same on all three computers running NWM.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Below is the requested info re: my network.

THX for the reply, Augie. Uninstalling Network Magic, then ckeaning out the remnants and finally reinstalling Network Magic on all three computers did in fact allow the program to recognize the topology changes. This, however, seems like a cumbersome solution to the discovery & mapping of topology changes.

How to delete screenshots in Network Magic 5.5?

I am running Network Magic version 5.5.9195.0 on my home network. One of its features is the ability to take desktop screenshots of connected computers. NM will store up to 100 screenshots before overwriting the oldest ones. Rather than accumulating screenshots which are not relevant anymore, I like to delete the ones I have no need for anymore. That way I also save HDD space.
The screenshots are stored in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pure Networks\Platform\ScreenCaptures
However, deleting screenshots does NOT remove them from the Past Screenshots list in Network Magic. Hence my question: how do I not only delete screenshots from my computer, but also from the Past Screenshots list in Network Magic? I opened a ticket for this question with Pure Networks, but they closed it without a conclusive answer...

Hi Flevokiwi,
Best solution for right now, is to uninstall Network Magic. Reboot. Use Explore to delete the remaining folders of Network Magic. Run Disk Cleanup. Reboot and reinstall Network Magic. Use your other copy of Network Magic to reactivate the reinstalled copy of Network Magic.
This was asked before and no one from Network Magic Beta Forums had any other answer.

"Network Magic Notification: NMApp.exe - No Disk" error message

Since downloading a trial of Network Magic I get an error message when linking to websites from email.
How do I fix this.

Hi there, can you please post some addtional info so that the Cisco Network Magic Support Community here on the Linksys Forums can assist you? The info that is needed is as follows:
1. Your Network Magic Version installed: example: 5.1.8345.0
2. The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection.
3. The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to.
4. The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version: Linksys WRT54G v8.2 Firmware Version 8.2.05
5. The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless.
6. The Connection in use on the problem computer: Ethernet Port is a PCI Adapter Card, Linksys WMP54G v4.1
7. Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, if any. Ex. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 1
8. Software Firewall in use: McAfee Personal Firewall 9.0.136 Build
9. Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer. (Some Programs like Spybot does cause problems, not being able to go to specific sites.)
10. Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)
11. Post the link to your Router Model, if an off-brand Router or not found in the USA on the Manufacturer's USA's Website. (Why? Posters helping each other, aren't working for Linksys or Cisco, so make it easier on the posters helping on.)
12. And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
13. By posting all this information, you can hopefully get help from someone that has the same equipment that you have and theirs is working. Not everyone has the same equipment.
(Thanks to thecreator for providing me this list of info needed for NM support)

Printer sharing problem in Network Magic

I have a desktop computer running Windows XP connected to a HP Photosmart 1115 printer. I have a laptop running Windows 7. I installed Network Magic on both machines. The network map is showing the printer with a yellow directional arrow going both ways. When I right-click on the printer and choose "Complete printer setup" a pop-up screen appears "Connecting to hp photosmart 1115 series on (name of desktop)." Then another screen pops-up "No driver found". Then another screen pops-up "File needed: Printer driver INF for Hp photosmart 1115 series". Not sure where to look on desktop? I tried some inf printers drivers but I get "Windows cannot connect to printer". I also get error 0x00000214 which tells me to set-up the printer by creating a port with \\desktopname\\printername. This changed the look of the printer icon in the control panel but the printer did not work on either of the machines. The only way I can print from the laptop is to save my files into a shared folder and then go to the desktop and open the shared folder and print. Is there any other solution to this problem besides buying a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7? There are no drivers from HP available to work in Windows 7.

I have a desktop computer running Windows XP connected to a HP Photosmart 1115 printer. I have a laptop running Windows 7. I installed Network Magic on both machines. The network map is showing the printer with a yellow directional arrow going both ways. When I right-click on the printer and choose "Complete printer setup" a pop-up screen appears "Connecting to hp photosmart 1115 series on (name of desktop)." Then another screen pops-up "No driver found". Then another screen pops-up "File needed: Printer driver INF for Hp photosmart 1115 series". Not sure where to look on desktop? I tried some inf printers drivers but I get "Windows cannot connect to printer". I also get error 0x00000214 which tells me to set-up the printer by creating a port with \\desktopname\\printername. This changed the look of the printer icon in the control panel but the printer did not work on either of the machines. The only way I can print from the laptop is to save my files into a shared folder and then go to the desktop and open the shared folder and print. Is there any other solution to this problem besides buying a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7? There are no drivers from HP available to work in Windows 7. I also am using Norton Security Suite with Comcast.
Hi jamhome,
You will not be able to use the Printer from your Windows 7 Laptop without compatible Windows 7 Drivers. I purchased a Lexmark X6570 which is Wireless and works in Windows 7 Utlimate 64-Bit Version Computer.
You need to purchase a Printer or All-in-One that plugs into the Router or is Wireless to each computer.
You also need to open up Windows 7's Network and Sharing Center which may or may not help.
If you need additional help include the information that the posts at the top of the Forum asks for.
