Pure Networks Network Magic 2.0

Simple, virtually automatic, nearly bulletproof.

I got this as a 30 day freebie with a D-Link wireless router & even though I've been in the business 4 over 20 years I've never seen anything make the drudgery of networking on Microsoft platforms so EASY!

We have 4 computers (2 wired & 2 wireless) & a Slingbox, they are all now on one network with 3 printers. Total setup time was about an hour. It was easy, & Network Magic automatically updated all 4 machines 2 the current 4.8 version. OK, so its eval software but I'm already hooked. Its easy 4 the kids 2 use & sharing files & printing remotely is a breeze. I honestly dont know how anybody can diss this software, its amazing. The license is cheap, I'll be a subscriber when my 30 days are up. 5 Gigaschnitzles

If you are doing any gaming at all online, run away from this product. The concept behind this software is fantastic, but reliability is spotty. Tells you exactly what is on the network & when, but randomly fails 2 connect 2 the internet saying the network is down (even when it is up) failing every 20-45 minutes. I know the network is good because when I look at the connector 4 the cat 5 cable on the comp it has an amber light on telling me it has good signal, & if I kill the NM process in the Windows task manager I can connect via XP connection wizard no problem, even though NM says it tried 2 fix the connection & couldn't. when I uninstalled NM, my network became rock solid again, too bad 4 Network MAgic. Great idea, poor execution.

Installation was easy. Like any software working on multiple machines there were adjustments that had 2 be made. Once the adjustments were made Network Magic was everything that I expected it 2 be.

I bought & installed Network Magic & had constant problems with it crashing my machine & having 2 send error reports 2 Microsoft. Even after there upgrade it didn't help the error reports. Along with HP net work printer it was a disaster. After removing all of the soft ware 4 the hp 2610 all in one printer there still where problems. I waited 4 a couple of weeks 2 see if they where supporting my linksys router, I reinstalled it again & an error showed up on my other computer that didn't have Network Magic installed. I uninstalled it 4 the last time.

Hi everyone,
I think this program is great. I have networked 3 computers & a 3in1 printer & all seem 2 work great together with easy access when needed. With wireless, this program makes it easy 2 do everything from my comfortable recliner while sipping on a good strong cup of jo. Take care!!
