Tell us more about Network Magic. Is it freeware, shareware, retail? Where can we download it? Is it secure and malware free? Thanks... |

I fear Network Magic was no solution for me. I have the same problems that
I had before I installed it.

There's a free version that provides some basic configuration for you and a
paid version that provides more advanced configuration. It essentially places a easy front end on the various spots in Vista (or XP) that you use to configure the network. Nothing you can't do yourself, just sort of "puts in under one hood" J "wguimb" wrote in message ... Tell us more about Network Magic. Is it freeware, shareware, retail? Where can we download it?

Run the network setup wizard on each machine. Check that both computers have
the same "workgroup". Check the workgroup by right clicking "my computer" and select properties. -- "Eric Brown" wrote: i have spent countless hours this week trying to network my vista notebook w/my xp desktop with no luck. i read on here about a program, network magic, and thought it would be my last resort. it should have been my first. if you are having a problem like i was *and mostly everyone i have seen on the net* try it. wow. |
