![]() ![]() I did the trial of NM and it worked so well I brought it a week later. Vista laptop and my XP desktop would see each other and not share. I had that is when I went from a laptop running XP to this one with Vista back in 2007. I have not figured out what is happening with Windows Network the two computers see each other but will not share a blasted thing. However from the treatment i got from Paulo I will not buy anything from Linksys again. ![]() I too had used Linksys routers for years, however Bell Canada requires you to use their modem/router combo unit, so I packed my Linksys router away. For a good while since I was using an Imac and NM would not network it to the PC so I had not install NM. I wanted to network the new PC was my laptop I recently installed a new HDD running Vista. ![]() I just had a new PC built with Win7 after the used IMac I got died. In the last 2 years I had misfortune of having my PC’s either die, or had to replace the hard drives. put it into my spell check i like it so much nothing was happening with them way back then but the app worked, till recently.Ībandonware, never heard of it before but great term. I quit bothering with any help or customer service 4 or 5yrs ago. It will block new additions(intruders) and instantly accept previously connected and set up machines. I dont know why NM keeps on working with some devices and not with others. One computer is still registered on it and fine one lists as not connected. I have a couple of freeware Advanced network scanner which can scan to see what is happening and connect /wake with other computers, but I liked what the NM did with shares and nice gui. I took a look at spiceworks but it is a community and has much more to it and wanted to investigate it more, first look was that the download was much more than i am looking for. I like the linksys, great wireless, only i prefer wires where ever possible or practical 3 were great but rather than blow dust out or whatever, i just put in a new router I had in the box for a year. I took off my linksys 3000E and put on a Buffalo only because one of the Lan ports on the rear of the router was shaky. I knew that the pure network stuff was in the tank. It still works however with the things which have always been connected to it. Here it is a year after the start and I just realize that my NetworkMagic is defunct. So once again is there a program that will do what Network Magic did, work with any router, and not a brand specific modem or router? Like I would now buy another product they offer. However they would gladly sell me their newest router that would have all the features of Network Magic in it. I was told that Network Magic is dead, servers shut down for good. So buying Linksys newest router would not help at all. However my current ISP requires that I use their modem/router. Long and short is Linksys only wants every one to buy their newest routers. i had a fairly rude and thoroughly uncaring agent name Pablo. I spent part of this evening with Support of Linksys. I really don’t want to start over with something else, very inconvenient. I will definitely file a complaint with Cisco and hope it helps us resolve this. ![]() Seems wrong that I’m not able to continue using what I paid for. I was also searching for the download and frustrated to find they’ve discontinued it. Or make it public domain, I don’t care, I just want my network magic to run. If enough of us complain we may just get them to come up with an open registration, just put in a serial number and off you go. Get rid of one and replace it, on the same router, and you were within the limits the software set. There wasn’t even a restriction on how many computers you could install it on, only a limit of 8 on your router. No time limit, no limits on how long you could use it, and no restriction on reinstalling. Point out that, when you bought it the only restriction was, 8 computers with NM on your router at one time. When they tell you they no longer support it, tell them you don’t want support, just let you use it. I suggest anyone who has network magic and needs to validate it do what I am going to do. When software is no longer supported by the publisher it’s called abandonware. ![]()
