Yash, You will need to do a couple of things to make this work: 1. Get a list of all clients on the network 2. Decide which clients are Pocket PCs There are a couple of different ways to do (1). One way is to sniff all the traffic on the network for a few minutes and build up a table of all devices on the network. The other method is to ask the AP for a list of all the clients associated with it. I am guessing that the PC is a client too and that the AP is a stand-alone device. Some APs have an API that can be used to get its configuration etc. but this depends on the vendor and the model number. And it may not be very straightforward. Once you have the list of addresses on the WLAN, you will have to do step (2). I don't know how you can distiguish Pocket PCs from other clients. You may have to use additional systems (like WINS or DNS) to map the MAC address or IP address to the device name. If all the Pocket PCs use a standard naming system you can separate them out and display them. There might be a simpler way to do what you want. If you find it, please let me know.
