With Sereniti's NetTrooper, you'll simplify home computing while protecting your identity and your online security. NetTrooper provides network discovery and mapping of all of the computers in the home. It offers automation for repairing connectivity issues, easy printer, and file sharing, management of wireless routers, and security alerts to protect you and your computer from online threats. And the best part is you don't have to know anything about a network in order to setup your network security.
I operate only as the free version. It gives a good view of my network and what equipment is in operation... even when the kids are up late using their PCs and iPod when they should be asleep ;))
Cons
It loads with companion software Sereniti Network Connection Manager which was slowing my Dell PC and kept killing my Dell laptop's wireless connection (a LAN profile had an error). I have uninstalled Connection Manager and NetTrooper works fine.
Summary
Very simple to use, gives a good view of equipment on your network, including any intruders if you make sure you name your gear on initial logon (otherwise it's just an IP address). It would be better product if it had ability to track items via MAC address and allow you to block selected equipment.
Not free ! the Basic Version which is free does nothing, you need to pay to try!

Pros
I like the fact that NT statuses PCs continually, and the router management part, which made it pretty easy to bolt down my Linksys.
Cons

Cons
Summary
I finally set up my home network.
longhorn2000
Pros
I use a large network at my office everyday but had yet to attempt setting one up at home. I was able to sync up all of our home computers and finally set up my wireless connection. I know next to nothing about networking but NetTrooper made me feel like a pro!
Cons
Summary
Makes home network diagnosis super easy!
gonzodragon
Pros
The graphic interface greatly simplifies figuring out network device management. The learning-curve is short; the intuitive functions all walk you through figuring out what devices aren't speaking to the rest of the network. Great to set up on the computer of a non-tech-savvy relative or friend to help them fix their own network problems (instead of calling you to do it!).
Cons
I'd like to see some security features bundled with NetTrooper. Still, AV and firewalls, etc. are easy enough to download elsewhere. It would just simplify the process and take those steps out of network diagnosis.
Summary
Now I won't have to update Mom's computer when I go home for holidays
texcali
Pros
When I go home for the holidays I always spend half a day updating all the microsoft patches and anti-virus updates for me madre. For a full year she ignores the alerts and emails and her PC is just a mess. This year I installed NetTrooper, so I can sit around and drink eggnog instead of waiting on patch after patch. THe $25K insurance for identity theft is a plus--can stop worrying about mom surreptitiously funding some eastern european gang.
