[QUOTE="uzid_427, post: 1163431, member: 184678"] [b]whos on your wifi?[/b] If I understand you correctly what you want to do is, from your mac, open your applications folder, select the utilities folder, and the select airport utility. On the left, highlight the desired network ie. AirportExtreme, then select the manual setup button and make sure you are on the summary tab. From here it looks like a bunch of vague and very basic information, but each item can be clicked on to obtain more info - took me a sec to figure out because the highlights are not obvious. To see a list of everyone using your network, move the curser over the wireless clients and click. From here you should be given all the mac addresses of everyone using the network as well as an already readable log saving you the export trouble. On a side note, any computer connected to the same network you are on at any given time, should be displayed on the sidebar in finder under the shared section. Unless he knows how to make his machine "stealthy". Im not sure as to the difficulty on hiding your computer, but I do know that hacking even the best wireless encryptions is not difficult given the fact that there are several shareware programs that do all the work for you. So all those who are under the impression that they are safe because they have a good password are still at risk [/QUOTE]
