So, I think someone has been freeloading off my wirleess. In fact, I think I know who this person is, so that's why I don't just encrypt the network and move on. I want to give em a showdown..errr...or something.
Anyway, is there a way I can go terminal or non-terminal steeze and pull up the MAC/SSID of the wifi card that was logged into my G5 "Access Point" ?
TIA
Kris

You can set limits on which MAC addresses your base station will connect with through the Access Control tab of the Admin Utility. I've never found anything that says what MAC addresses are currently associated with either Apple's software or hardware base stations. Kind of frustrating, since my Linksys access point's software tells me what adddresses have associated with it.

ummm
perhaps I didn't make it clear. I'm using my G5 as a "software base station."

The tcpdump command can let you view current traffic on the network, including sender and receiver MAC addresses:
E.g.:
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -ae -i en1 -vv -X

In the Network Utility, under the NetStat tab, you can display routing table information, which seems to show every computer on the network.
I would say that if you are concerned about someone using your wireless, you should take the appropriate steps to secure the network. Otherwise, just let them keep using it.

As I have never used a "software base station" configuration, either as a separate product or as part of the current AirPort software, I have to go by what I read in Apple's support material. It looks to me like you use the Admin Utility to manage sharing via AirPort, so it looks like that's where you'd look to limit MAC addresses, etc.
If I'm wrong, I sure can't find any better information through Apple's knowledge base.

The software base station doesn't allow as much control as the hardware base stations. I don't know if it's even possible to limit access.
