Hello,
I bought a D-Link wireless router so my wife would have Internet access on her computer downstairs. Network Magic free version came with it. Everything worked out fine. Now the version has run out of its trial time and NM is trying to force me to buy the upgrade which I don't wanna do. (Times are hard, pilgrim.) As I have not deigned to purchase this unsolicited product, NM now has taken to sporatically and periodically cutting me off from the Internet, sometimes during mid-email or during a supposedly relaxing game of MSN online hearts, a card game or at any other time it deems fit to mess with me.

The Principle of the plight bothers me. It's not a ton of money but that's not the point, yeah? I don't Want To buy pro this or pro that or be Forced to buy Any flippin' thing. So here's my question. I've got Comcast cable modem hooked to the main (my) computer and the D-Link is linked to that. Can I go into my ADD/REMOVE programs, trashcan Network Magic and Not affect my wife's Internet connectivity or am I shackled to yet another intruder/helper in these arcane times to do their bidding and obligated to buy their damned software?

Hey Don, thanks for writing. I removed Network Magic when I found out I could. Have no need to transfer files at this time or control both puters. If that changes though and download NW again? Will write you about that free full version. Thanks again and happy new year to ya.
