Greetings!
As much as I like Google, I have not been very successful in looking for a specific shell commands that allow me to see who is in my subnet. If someone is leeching off of my wi fi broadband (which they cannot do it that easily since I have MAC level security and WEP enabled) how can I bring up a shell and see the computer names?

Thanks in advance
 
On my wireless Broadband router, it details this information in the DHCP table on the router which can be accessed via Internet Explorer.

Or you could use a freeware network monitor like Look@LAN

You probably want to use: net view

but then again that was my first time using it as well.

Just type: net ? and hit enter, it'll give you the syntax that can be used.

 
I'd go for the router option, but maybe they can remove the logs.

A network sniffer could provide you more info, I like WhireShark or EtheReal.

Cheers,

Thanks! I downloaded look@lan and it's what I was looking for; I just did not know if there was a way to do it in the DOS shell.
Thanks again for all the replies!
 
Anarax,

I'd also do some Googling on the effectiveness of WEP and MAC filtering for securing a wireless network. You may be surprised how easy it is circumvent this.

Switch to WPA or WPA2 if you can.
