Freeware of the Moment- Network Magic

Network_magicI have a lot of computers, printers and PDAs on my home network and have been looking for a program with a good interface for interacting with that network.  It is hard enough keeping everything running as it is and a utility like this would make it easier to see what is going on with one of the computers upstairs.  Network Magic is a program that lets you view and manage your entire network from a single screen.  Connecting and disconnecting devices is as simple as a few clicks of the mouse, and Network Magic will repair "broken" network connections too.  Shared folders can be configured and manipulated from within the program, too.  The program is available as a free beta so I don't know if they will eventually start charging for it down the road but, hey, live for the moment, right?
