Very interesting, thank you. I had no idea that nobody has designed a simple program that can do this. I guess not enough people see the advantage of being able to boot an app. that will allow them to see other computers on their network just as easily as some programs detect other wi-fi networks. . .like MacStumbler.
MacStumbler is a program for finding networks.
Most people needing to find other computers on their network use the network browser, built into the OS, like the finder Go> Network link, or the Network icon in a finder window. Um, you did look there, right? :-)
However, what you're talking about is intrusion detection, which is another kettle of fish entirely.
As it is NmapFE is pretty simple. It will tell you what other systems are on your network, and what, to some extent they're doing there.
For a small network like that served by a WAP it's really fast too, especially since you don't need to be stealthy about it, it's YOUR network.
