Undo track as intruder in Network Magic

Hi,
I accidentaly created a problem. This is what happened: my router is not password protected (long story), therefor I regularly check Network Magic (for which I never registered so I guess I have limited options) and when I see something I don't recognise I click on 'track as intruder' and then remove it from the network. Now it seems I accidentaly branded a cell phone we use in the house as an intruder and removed it from the network and now it won't connect to Wifi anymore. I can't find an option to undo the tracking as intruder because the divice won't show up in Network Magic anymore.
Can someone tell my how I unblock the phone? You might suggest removing Network Magic from my PC and reinstalling it, but I have no install cd or anything.

A device tracked as intruder would still be able to connect to the wireless network. The said feature would just notify you each time a device tracked as intruder tries to connect to your network. What you can do is to forget the wireless network profile on your phone and try to reconnect. Also try to reboot your phone and your wireless router. Once the phone is already connected to the network, you should see it on the network map, so you can undo track as intruder.

  • Hi, network magic problem.

    This is my problem, my google nexus, is not connecting to my router. my dad said he kicked me, because he didnt know what it was on network magic aka track as intruder. im looking for the device on NM, cant find it. any solution? i heard you could uninstall NM and reinstall again, but im not sure if he remembers the admin/password to the linksys router info page and not sure if that will mess it up. thanks in advance. 

    You may try to do that as a workaround. Try enabling it, connect your Google nexus. then try disabling network lock again. It should let you connect then. You will only tracked as an intruder if you're going to manually set it as an intruder on the network magic software itself.

    Hi cohaver,
    This software already exists in McAfee Total Protection 2010 Software. In fact, McAfee added Home Network to its protection. The problem is McAfee is consuming the CPU at points.
    The point being, NMapp also consumes the CPU at points. One doesn't need blouted Software, but software that does its job fast, without consuming the memory or CPU cycles slowing down the computer.

  • 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....

    Hi, try doing a power cycle on your router and modem, and see if the computer disappears from the map.

  • 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:

    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.

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • EasyLink Advisor and Network Magic together - Why?

    My question is why am I running two different systems from Linksys to manage my router?  Do I need both of them, even though they seem to be a little different? Which one is the future standard for Linksys?  Do I lose anything by deleting one of them, or do I gain anything by keeping both of them?  They do not seem to interfere with each other - it is just confusing.
    LELA seems to be the better one now that both have been upgraded to the newer sotware.
    Please advise.  Thanks...

    My understanding is that there should be no port scan attempts coming through the router.  Normally all the router's ports are closed, so no port scan should be coming through the router.
    That's my understanding as well, but, unfortunately, I am still getting ports being scanned from remote IPs. :-(
    Possible sources for this would be:
    1)  another computer on your network is sending out the port scan
    2)  a wireless printer on your network is opening ports  ( I have an HP wireless printer that does this).
    3)  someone is connecting wirelessly to your network, and scanning ports
    1) I only have one computer.
    2) Believe it or not I don't have a printer. :-)
    3) The router is connected to my computer via ethernet cable, so (I assume) I have (hopefully) turned off the wireless part of the router.
    To verify that the router's ports are closed, go to Gibson Research at grc.com , and click on the "Shields UP!" test.  Scan your ports and see if any of them are open.  The Shields UP! program WILL do a port scan, so you can also see if your computer's firewall complains during this test.
    I have done the above and the ports that "Shields Up" scans are stealthed.
    If you do find ports open, the most likely cause is a program, running on one of your computers, that is opening ports.
    All the programs that I use I have used for a number of years.  With the D-Link router that I used I did not have this "problem".  Having said that I am not interested in going back to the D-Link router.  Hopefully this problem that I am having with my Linksys router can be rectified. :-)
    Report back with the results of the scan.

    Hi Chiangel,
    If Network Magic is not now installed on the question computer, you need to unsbscribe from the E-mails themselves to stop them.
    As for not seeing the computer from the other computer, you need to adjust Vista's Network and Sharing Center, to allow the computers to see each other.

  • Alternative to Network Magic?

    I have a small network; 1 PC (Toshiba(TOSH) first to have  NM Pro & Vista) three PC's (the kids, each with different OSs -XP-Vista - Win 7) and now I have a new Macbook Pro, with OSX 10.7.2 LION, which I HAVE to use for work and school. I gave TOSH to wife who does not want to give it back and won't monitor network, (bummer-still stuck with job, thought would go to wife with TOSH) I have Network Magic on my Mac running under Vista (parallels). I can see the full network (map) on TOSH, but not on Mac (I assume because of parallels running virtual machine) I need something similar to Network Magic that I can install on my Mac to manage the network, so I can throw off the kids if they are getting into wrong things, plus I need to keep intruders out. I am wondering if there is any software out there that will give me the tools I need. I am new to networks, but have been computer user since 1975 and have built custom PC's  back in the day (286-386-pentium) but am new to networking. I really need help before wife gets mad because kids are getting out of hand and letting boyfriends and girlfriends on network. Yeah I can change my network password, but that gets old when having to do it daily. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance

    Mac os X cannot write to NTFS, read only. Mac OS X can read and write to a fat32 drive.
    Windows cannot write or read(I think) OS X file system.
    Palm abandoned OS X support.
    Macs connected to the network should be able to see windows PC's properly formated drives without any additional software.

  • 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!
