tetsujin29 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Is there a good Mandriva tool that can monitor any unwanted users on a wireless network (as well as encryption status, etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 This is a job for your router or WAP, not a (wired or wireless) client. Don't you get enough info from its web interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsujin29 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Is there a desktop tool that can give me network info without logging onto the router website all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Unless the manufacturer made an application to pull statistics from your router, then no. You can use mrtg which uses snmp provided that you can enable snmp on the router - then you can pull all sorts of stats to your machine. Would require apache running so that you can view the stats on your machine once you've gotten mrtg installed and up and running. However, it probably won't give you all the info you want.

scarecrow Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Some routers can dispatch logging info to a defined email admin addy, although I cannot say which ones give a verbose log, and which provide a lemon, or cannot do it at all.
