  Programs of security software: Comodo & Panda Cloud Antivirus Firewall
  Configs of security software: uninstalled, installed or disabled, and installed/enabled

  DETAILS OF THE PROBLEMS:

  No wireless network is detected on the computer with the installed adapter WUSB54GC.  Cell phones, printer (located in the same office) and game console, receive positive signals / have no connectivity problem.  With a new installation of Windows (i.e. the BONES cost installation before using each method) I tried to install the unit using the following methods: 1) using the Setup program on the CD-ROM included, 2) using the last program (drivers) site Web of Linksys, install 3) manually through the device with drivers from the Disk Manager and installing 4) manually through the Device Manager with the newer drivers from the Web site Linksys.  In addition, I tried with the firewall disabled/uninstalled software.

  I had some success using the Linksys Wireless Manager program that is included in the installation program.  However, it is only if I choose the option 'connect to the hidden network' when the Wireless Manager is ran in the last step of the Installer (no network is detected the case).  The quirks are that the network is not hidden, and after Setup is complete, I can see all the wireless LANs with the Linksys Wireless Manager (no need to check the option hidden network).  After a few diagnostic tests, I think that the Network Magic software that is installed in quiet mode with the Linksys software is at the origin of the problem.

  During the detailed above method that allowed me to connect to the network, I used the firewall software to observe that connectivity can be established only if nmsrvc.exe, a component of the network Network Magic/pure software platform that is installed silently, is allowed access to the network.  After this program to access the Linksys Wireless Manager network can detect networks normally and connectivity problems disappeared.  After he logged initially I can even kill the process, its assistance process and the program manager wireless, still maintain connectivity.  I also thought about this magic (AKA pure networks platform service) network installation two other network protocols that when disabled preventing connectivity.  With certainty the adapter only works if I finish the complete installation program by using the hidden network option and continue to use linksys wireless/network magic software later.

  I'm trying to understand why the Network Magic software is necessary to detect and use all networks.  As I said originally, I tried just to install the drivers through the device without success Manager.  The adapter is configured on a machine Pentium 4 of 2001, and this software supports 40 MB of precious CPU cycles and memory.  I want to connect to my wireless network and use the computer without software bloated slow down the computer even more.  My own conclusion, after all these tests are that my router needs the network magic to work properly for some reason, but if that's true, I would at least use Windows connects to the network as Linksys Wireless Manager uses 30MB RAM itself.  Of course, it's more a problem advanced if I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read all this and make their contribution.  Thank you.

  I think that the most appropriate statement would be that the WUSB54GC has some compatibility issues with Windows XP SP3.

  Specifying the age of the available Linksys drivers I did some research and discovered that the WUSB54GCv3 uses a third party (a common practice), the Ralink RT2800UD chipset.  Latest Ralink drivers for this chipset are over a year newer than the official drivers from Linksys.  They require just a few reconfiguration so that they work with Linksys WUSB54GCv3.  With the updated drivers comes better compatibility and performance often.

  Once I installed these drivers updated the device could detect local wireless normally, and I was able to use the Zero Windows wireless utility to connect to my network.  I think that others with similar compatibility problems will have the same result.  For more information and links to these pilots updated already visit reconfigured: http://sites.google.com/site/linksysupdateddrivers/.  There are not official, updated drivers for many other Linksys products here.  Credit for the drivers and the Web site goes to this person: http://sites.google.com/site/linksysupdateddrivers/about.

• LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw no network connection with Linksys HUB

  Hello

  I install my Color LaserJet Pro 200 m276nw MFP to connect to my home network using a wired connection.

  When directly connected to my router, the connection initializes and successfully receives an ip address. I was able to access all the functions connected to my router directly either wired or wireless network.

  I also have an old Linksys hub and when the printer is connected to the hub, it does not initialize the network connection. The hub works with all the other sevice in my network, including a few game consoles and a Mac Mini.

  Is there a network advance setting that I have to look?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I don't know if an IP address conflict is my problem as it is not a problem with another device on the network. But it is certainly a kind of incompatibility.

  I found a work around. I have an old LInksys WRT54GS router, I was about to sell and read that I could turn in a switch with a custom firmware, DD - WRT. After you have installed the custom firmware and following some instructions to configure in a switch (including setting a fixed IP address as you suggested), the router-turned-switch worked like a charm.

  So, it is definitely an incompatibilities with the Linksys Hub EFAH05W. Maybe this printer don't like hubs. I read the hubs do not succeed as a router or a switch network traffic only.

• Network Magic and Cisco router EA4500 UID and password

  I use the 5.5.9150.0 version of the free product. I had my last router, with a WRT400N. Since then, I have installed an EA4500 router to replace the WRT400N. I'm glad that Network Magic works with my new router, but I have a problem: I can't connect to my router via Netowrk Magic.

  Protection status/Wireless / Wireless Protection settings brings up a window that asks you the router user name and the password. I went to the page "Setting Up: Basics" guide of the user EA4500 (page 13) and tried all the values that I had copied in when I installed the router.

  I tried the SSID of the router and the "Linksys Smart Wi - Fi Username ' in the user ID box.

  I tried the "Linksys Smart WIFI password", the network, the Guest network password password and the router password (same as the network password).

  Nothing has worked. I've only connected to the EA4500 using the Linksys Smart WiFi, username and password, so I'm stuck trying to figure what values to use.

  Please help me understand what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

  I stumbled in the response:

  1. start Network Magic and display the network map.

  2. click on the name of the router (just under the router icon).

  3. click on Set Up or manage the device.

  4. the Linksys WiFi Smart Sign In (to the router) window appears.

  5 connect to the router by using the credentials of Smart Wi - Fi that you set up when you have installed the router.

  Now, all router commands will work from within Network Magic.

• Customization of Network magic

  Hi all

  Is it possible to change/add the device icons. I would like to have icons 'clear' for wired switches and NAS devices. (and something better then 'network device')

  Second: is there a way to customize the network mapped (as in my case, it is false): my network configuration is the following: in the House, I have a few computers/devices connected with a switch. This switch is connected to a switch outside my house and the switch connects with my internet router and some servers. However the card show my central router to my network (with all the devices on it, so I don't see what computers are connected to what switch).

  PS: what I find a great weakness, it's that this Linksys/Cisco software does not recognize one of the devices of his own...

  Hi Geert,

  Network Magic does not work with switches, routers only.

• Icon for Network Magic Folders REMOVAL!

  Hello.  I installed my Linksys WRT54G2 router software, and auto-installé Network Magic (Trial Version).  During installation, 2 icons appeared on my desk.  "Network Magic Folders" and "Network Magic", the latter is a shortcut.  I tried to remove the "Network Magic Folders" icon and it is mounted permanently on the desktop.  I read a post with a similar prob, but the "fix" was to right click on the NM icon on the taskbar, click on 'options', under general, select the checkbox 'icons hide NM.

  Of 'options' menu when right clicking the icon on the taskbar NM or the notification icon, there is not.  How can I remove this icon, without uninstalling NM?

  Thank you

• Activation of Network Magic Pro 5.5

  A few weeks ago my computer crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7 and Network Magic Pro 5.5. However, it is impossible for me to activate my license.

  After the reinstallation of Windows 7, I reinstalled Network Magic Pro 5.5 and tried to activate it until I reinstalled my firewall and antivirus to Panda Internet Security 2013.

  When you try to activate Network Magic, I said (in translation) that:

  "The license server could not be contacted.  Make sure that you have an active Internet connection and try again. »

  In the last 3 or 4 weeks, I tried several times a week, but not successful.

  Please tell me what to do.

  Thanks for the information, dadayzee and scot2205. One thing is certain, Linksys has lost a potential customer.

• Network Magic is not updated in the computer security software.

  I decided to standardize my security with Microsoft Security Essentials software.  I uninstalled the previous security software (CA Internet Security Suite) and installed Security Essentials on two laptops.  Now, when I look at the Map Network Magic, I have 3 alerts.

  My router is D - Link DI - 624 Rev C Firmware 2.70.  Network magic is c. 5.5.9195.0 - PURE0, version of the 11.2.9195.1 platform.  My cable modem is D - link DCM-202.

  When I discover the details and alerts from a computer, running Vista Home, SP2, it shows that there is no antivirus installed, the spy software is the defender of widows, and firewall Microsoft Windows is installed.  Alerts that I receive from this computer are that the Antispyware is turned off and the Antivirus is not installed.

  When I discovered the details and alerts of yhe other computer, running XP, SP3, it shows that the Antivirus is CA-Anti-Virus, installed no Antispyware and firewall Microsoft Windows is installed.  The alert for this computer, it is that there is no antispyware installed.

  I removed the two computers to my network card, rebooted and re them connected to Network Magic, but the sill of alerts are displayed.

  How can I get Network Magic to report the correct security software installed on both of these computers?

• How to disable the Network Magic Splash Screen feature?

  Anyone can guide me please you through the steps to disable the Network Magic boot screen? I bought the software a few years back and saw a message, how to do it. I did, and it worked a treat... until a recent bug on my computer forced a major restoration, which brought back the splash screen. Now, I forgot (of course) how I disabled it in the registry. I know that this question is compared to the major probs that here, others have small potatoes, but I hope that someone will still give me a little help.

  Well, that's interesting! I really thought that it was a common problem, which need a registry edit to remove the splash screen, as is the case with other programs. I was wrong.

  So, once a hardware problem (I just had one of my hard drives go bad), I'll follow your advice by uninstalling and then reinstalling Network Magic. The splash screen I see, which appears just after the start and central rest before and during the complete boot process, is a pale green rectangle with 'Pure Networks' (and a little of the rest of the text) on this subject. I'll report after trying your solution.

  Thanks much for the reply.

• After the expiry of the trial version of Network Magic, never connect wireles yet!

  We have a router model: WRT160N V3 and came with this network magic software and it expired months ago and since then, it's wireless. What should I do?

  Thank you

  Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds and then release.  Wait 10 seconds and cycle power to the router.  Now, try to connect to 192.168.1.1 with blank password, username "admin".

• Cannot delete the desktop icon: Network Magic?

  Running Windows 7 64-bit HP.  Network Magic is installed as a 30 day trial when I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 (why I've never waited so long?). I uninstalled by getting in pure Networks/Setup...etc; It's, I think I've done the proper uninstall. However, I can't get rid of his Network Magic Folders icon on my desktop. I can't even move the icon on the desktop. Right click gives: open and create a shortcut.  Selecting open doesn't do nothing, shortened by selecting creates a shortcut on the desktop that can be deleted. Suggestions?

  EDIT: Here's an answer essentially the same question (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/3a90c945-1072-4bb7-9afc-ec8df2cee03b).  However, I'm not good in the registry to work, I can't go wrong with it as I don't know if the answer is there.

  That did the trick:

  Delete this key...

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {C55C499D-3518-44a1-998E-796AC5FC989D}]
