Who's using my wireless connection?

Hey group,

Is there a way to detect is someone has hooked into my home wireless
connection? Ie some sort of utility or program that can simply say 'Yes, 2
laptops connected' or something like that...

I've added had-coded MAC addresses, so it shouldn't be an issue, but I'm
just curious.

Cheers,

PJ

Try something like Net Stumbler.

Your access point / wireless router should have something that shows who is
connected, or DHCP clients connected, or wireless clients connected.

My Linksys WAP11 access point shows all wireless clients, while my Linksys
BEFSR11 shows all DHCP clients, and the outgoing router logs show all
systems using the router (actually I use Link Logger www.linklogger.com to
monitor all my inbound and outbound logs).
