Identify access point connected to

Does anyone know of a way to identify what access point you are connected to?
We have multiple access points around our building, some of our clients have
wireless utilities that will identify what access point you are using, but
some do not report it. We are using Windows XP Pro for our wireless clients.

I was hoping there was some kind of log file or a command line utility built
into XP that would report the MAC address of the access point you are
currently connected to?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi
It might depend on the type of setting but this might help.
Download this program, http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/
While connected to the Access Point in question, execute the program, it
might show the AP's MAC.
