using macbookpro at various campus buldings

[BrettFarve04]

i frequantly use my macbookpro in huge wi-fi area's and notice a lot of other mac/pc users on their computers as well. Is there a way to totally monitor the network I'm on..(how many users, bandwidth using)

I've seen/heard people "hacking" into others computers on the network and messing stuff up. I just wanna prepare/protech myself.

thanks

I can't say this will totally help, but Little Snitch is a pretty great App for monitoring connections from the network to/from your own computer.
