Network Magic 5.0 isn't perfect, but it hides the complexities of managing a home or SOHO network, letting even nontechnical users configure, secure, and maintain them.
Broadband-connected networks have spread through homes, home offices, and small offices like wildfire. But users attempting to configure, secure, and maintain those networks may feel all too much like firefighters battling flames in a Santa Ana wind. So I'm always rooting for applications that aim to sweep away the daunting complexity of network management. Though Network Magic 5.0 ($49.99 direct) doesn't yet succeed in its toughest challenge, making security effortless, it's still a valuable tool for the home or business user who isn't a tech expert but needs to manage a network of up to eight computers—along with attached devices like printers and NAS appliances. It's got one new feature, the automation of wireless protection, that in my testing didn't work as advertised, and that keeps this iteration of the app from true greatness; but it's still quite good.

The software supports versions of Windows from Me through Vista. A separate package, Network Magic for Mac Add-On 4.0 ($25), lets you integrate up to eight systems running Mac OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.3 or later. The setup process is essentially the same as Network Magic Pro 4.7, which means you still have to install the utility on each computer manually. That amounts to just popping in the disc, clicking on 'Install,' and following a wizard. I'd really like to see remote deployment in Network Magic 6, but it's not a terrible omission in a product aimed at managing such small networks.
Once you've got the software installed, you see the improved control dashboard. The graphical interface displays a map of your network with pictorial representations of all the connected devices, which the utility finds automatically. You can point and click to connect devices, control Internet access, and track online activity. It is just as easy to share connections, files, and devices such as printers. In keeping with earlier versions, Network Magic provides basic choices that even nontechnical users can make.
Every time you—or more important, someone else—make a change, a pop-up notifies you of the change, so you know what's happening at all times. That's a big deal to novice users who don't know how wireless networks function. Network Magic even finds and reports wireless devices that aren't broadcasting an SSID, so you'll know if someone is trying to connect clandestinely.
Clicking on an alert brings up a page with details of your network in the network map feature. From there, you can make critical changes that can affect the performance and security of your network. After I scanned my test network, for example, the application found unidentified machines on a router, then allowed me to isolate them and mark them as intruders. Having this level of visibility is as useful as installing security software. Whenever neighbors access your home network, Network Magic will tell you what computers are connected. The whole process of discovering and isolating computers takes mere seconds. Of course, the best thing is to have bulletproof encryption on your network; Network Magic tries to help here. More on this later.
Doing the same manually at the router level requires you to take a different approach. Network Magic looks for intruders. If you take the manual approach, you have to build a list of everyone who's allowed access, and the router will, by default, disallow everyone else. Finding the MAC addresses for every device and entering them into the appropriate location in the router interface is a lot of work. When Network Magic finishes a scan, the software also provides security alerts and helps you fix problems. In the health and security alert pane, for instance, you can turn on Windows Firewall just by clicking on the fix link.
Version 5.0 introduces a number of updates to the product besides the improved dashboard. An important one addresses a previous complaint of ours—that anyone who had access to the software could make network-configuration changes. Now, although users can still see information about the network, they must know the password you've chosen before they can alter settings.
One other major update will be a hit with parents: Internet access control lets them restrict their kids' Web use according to a weekly schedule. The calendar has a weekly grid that restricts Internet use by the hour. But the little rascals can quickly get around the access control by simply changing the date and time on the computer, so the feature isn't worth using unless your kids are very young and don't know their way around Windows. Parents can also find out whether the little nippers are being naughty or nice by having PCs running Network Magic take desktop screenshots.
Network Magic is packed with features to help you understand your network, but some are more useful than others. The Status section gives you a report of various conditions, such as network activity, the presence of intruders, and whether WPA is on. That's all good information, but the relatively nontechnical audience this product targets will be more comfortable getting the same information from the graphical depiction of the network when using the network map or just studying the history of network activity.
An Advisor section has links to online information that you may or may not find useful. Within the Advisor, an area called 'Navigation Links' directs you to utilities like an Internet speed tester, which can be valuable, and an ActiveX-based online security scanner. The latter gives you a general idea of how secure your network is by placing a numeric score on a linear, color-coded scale that shifts from red if you have lots of vulnerabilities to green, if all's well. Unfortunately, the scan said my test laptop (an HP Pavilion running Vista with SP1) had file sharing for my music, photos, and documents—which I'd set with Network Magic—incorrectly configured. That wasn't correct, and that's a problem that needs fixing.

Unfortunately, the product's most serious failing is in its most important new capability: the Change Wireless Protection (CWP) feature through which Network Magic can enable WEP or WPA encryption. The marquee feature, available directly from the dashboard, works only with supported routers found on a Cisco list. In testing, however, CWP failed to work properly with my supposedly supported Linksys WRVS4400N, a business router. Tim Ahlers, product manager for Pure Networks (the Cisco-owned company that created Network Magic), independently verified my finding. As a result of the bug my testing uncovered, Cisco has, for the moment, taken business routers off the list of devices supported by CWP. Cisco's consumer routers, however, will still be supported.

The feature's failure is a shame on a number of levels. It's the most sophisticated upgrade to the product, for one: It works wirelessly, and users don't have to do anything other than let it run. Even worse, it's desperately needed, because although many people now know that they should encrypt wireless traffic, they don't know how. Even the best routers still haven't made this easy enough for the least sophisticated users. Sadly, Cisco will have its hands full trying to make CWP reliable, I fear. The feature works by parsing the HTML code in a router's user interface, then imitating a user changing the encryption settings manually. The problem is that even the smallest interface change can throw the parsing off. And such a bug slipping through also indicates that a change might be needed in Cisco's testing methodology.
If Cisco manages to get CWP to work reliably, that impressive feat will turn this utility into an even more valuable asset. As it is, CWP's business-router bug hurts the score of this latest version of the application; it makes it useless as an upgrade for existing business owners. Still, the bulk of Network Magic Pro 5.0's features work like a charm, and the program can be a networking lifesaver for nonexperts.
