Is there any way to monitor users/connections on my AirPort Base Station?

    Well.. you can always enable the WEP and close the network to ensure noone is messing around.

    Wireless Host Monitor?

    I've never used it, but here's what it says (my emphesis):

    Quote:

    This utility monitors the wireless hosts that are currently connected through an Apple Airport or Lucent RG-1000 wireless access point. The MAC addresses and client names of attached hosts are listed, with the list being updated every 5 seconds. Note that the list compiled by the access point seems to be somewhat variable, with hosts sometimes disappearing for one cycle and showing up again in the next.



    There's got to be a way in the Terminal to see who's on your network, right?

    % netstat -r

    Shows the routing tables and might give some idea who's around. I'm no expert though.

    The OS 9 AirPort utilities had the ability to list connected clients and signal strengths. It was a basestation positioning aid.
