Is there a program that tells me who is connected to my home network?

jmFightSpam · May 2, 2008

Hello,

Is there something built into Leopard (10.5.2) that can tell me how many people are connected to my home network and who those people are (i.e. computer name or something)? If it such a capability is not built into Leopard, is there a program that can be recommended?

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS 802.11n).

Thanks.

There's a function built into the Airport utility:

In terms of third party apps, try...

This will basically get you a MAC address, which you can use to tell what brand of computer it is, but it won't necessarily give you a name of the owner or a physical location of the computer....
