Inferior Product [Posted on 2006-10-30]
Don't purchase this product unless you want an app that you need to constantly babysit and coddle. The customer service is laughable at best and all the primary response to any issue is to upgrade with a latest version, which works for a day or two if at all before networking just errors out. I've tried this on three unique networking environments in my home, my office and at school and all have been failures. If you buy this product you are either an idiot or you will certainly feel like one after a few days of using it.

Good software [Posted on 2006-11-09]

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

Great concept that doesn't work [Posted on 2006-12-18]
I bought and installed Network Magic and had constant problems with it crashing my machine and having to send error reports to 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 for the hp 2610 all in one printer there still where problems. I waited for a couple of weeks to see if they where supporting my linksys router, I reinstalled it again and an error showed up on my other computer that didn't have Network Magic installed. I uninstalled it for the last time.

Networking With Network Magic 2.9 [Posted on 2007-01-18]
Installation was easy. Like any software working on multiple machines there were adjustments that had to be made. Once the adjustments were made Network Magic was everything that I expected it to be.

Great Idea, just dies a lot [Posted on 2007-03-24]
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 and when, but randomly fails to connect to 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 for the cat 5 cable on the comp it has an amber light on telling me it has good signal, and 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 to fix the connection and couldn't. when I uninstalled NM, my network became rock solid again, too bad for Network MAgic. Great idea, poor execution.
