Monitor DHCP client list

New Wireless G Router

Published on February 19, 2005 By Lantec In PC Hardware

I have a DSL connection for my business. I just replaced the Linksys Wireless B router at the office with a Wireless G Router. The old setup allowed me to check my DHCP client list but the new setup only (as far as I can tell) allows me to set the number of clients. I'm looking for a program that would allow me to "see" what computers are DHCP clients as we have several wireless systems in our office and I need to make sure the right systems are on the right router.
Item 2, I brought home the old B router to use with my cable modem at home. It worked right away with out any setup whatso ever. Is there a way to check if my neighbor is on my high speed cable? I'm not as network saavy as I'd like to be.

Lantec, I have the same router as you at home and I advise you to set it up so only certain specific Mac adresses can access it. First find the Mac address of each of your wireless computers, then add it to the list in your Router's configuration options.

Thanks OO,
I found the DHCP client list after some poking around. It was hidden a few layers down in the program. Staus Tab, then Local Network, then DHCP, Then DHCP clients. Still appreciate the response.

Thanks paxx just finished adding the last of the addresses and if this uploads I guess I didn't screw it up.

Congratulations then.

This way you're certain your neighbour won't surf on your modem.

Np Lantec, if I have something useful to input I usually will. I am sure in the near future I am going to have all kinds of questions myself that you may be able to answer..

Take Care,
Zero.

Is this for wireless modems? or hardline as well? I have a nat enabled router on my hardline broadband. It this something I need to be concerned with?
