Publisher's Description: |
Wireless Network Watcher is a small utility that scans your wireless network and displays the list of all computers and devices that are currently connected to your network.
For every computer or device that is connected to your network, the following information is displayed: IP address, MAC address, the company that manufactured the network card, and optionally the computer name.
You can also export the connected devices list into html/xml/csv/text file, or copy the list to the clipboard and then paste into Excel or other spreadsheet application.
System Requirements And Limitations
This utility works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003/2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
This utility can only scan a wireless network that you're currently connected to. It cannot scan other wireless networks.
In rare cases, it's possible that Wireless Network Watcher won't detect the correct wireless network adapter, and then you should go to 'Advanced Options' window (F9), and manually choose the correct network adapter.
although this utility is officially designed for wireless networks, you can also use it to scan a small wired network.
Versions History
Version 1.67
Updated the internal MAC addresses database.
Version 1.66
Added option to choose another font (name and size) to display in the main window.
Version 1.65
Added 'Show Inactive Devices' option (Under the Options menu). When it's turned on, Wireless Network Watcher continues to display devices when they are not detected anymore, but their 'Active' value is changed from 'Yes' to 'No' and they also have a red X icon.
Version 1.60
When you choose to scan specific IP addresses range, Wireless Network Watcher now automatically skips the broadcast addresses, according to the IP addresses/Subnet masks settings of every network adapter.
Fixed issue: On some network adapters, Wireless Network Watcher added items with empty MAC address - 00-00-00-00-00-00
Version 1.58
Fixed bug: Wireless Network Watcher failed to load the external MAC addresses file (oui.txt) when every line has 2 leading space characters. (Sometimes this file is provided with leading space characters, I don't really know why...)
Version 1.57
Updated the internal MAC addresses database.
Version 1.56
Added 'Mark Odd/Even Rows' option, under the View menu. When it's turned on, the odd and even rows are displayed in different color, to make it easier to read a single line.
Fixed issue: Dialog-boxes opened in the wrong monitor, on multi-monitors system.
Version 1.55
Added option to set the interval of the background scan (In the 'Advanced Options' window)
Version 1.50
Added option to run .exe file when a new device is detected (In 'Advanced Options' window)
Version 1.47
Fixed bug: Wireless Network Watcher crashed on some systems when starting the scanning and the 'Clear ARP Cache On Every Scan' option is turned on.
Version 1.46
Added 'Clear ARP Cache On Every Scan' option. This option is useful for Windows 2000/XP, because if the ARP cache is not cleared, a device might be displayed as connected even when it's not connected, because the ARP information is taken from the cache of Windows operating system. On Windows Vista/7, this option is irrelevant, because the ARP scanning is not affected by the cache.
Version 1.45
Added 'Device Options' window (Ctrl+F9), which allows you to change the beep/tray balloon configuration for every device separately.
Version 1.42
Add new option to 'Advanced Options' window: 'Activate the beep/tray balloon alert only if the device is detected in the first time'. If you turn on this option, you'll get a beep/tray balloon alert only if the device has not been detected before (Detection Count = 1).
Version 1.41
The tooltip of the tray icon now shows the number of connected devices.
Version 1.40
Added option to choose audio file to play when a new device is detected (In Advanced Options), instead of using the default beep sound of Windows.
Added 'Start As Hidden' option. When this option and 'Put Icon On Tray' option are turned on, the main window of Wireless Network Watcher will be invisible on start.
Version 1.35
Added 'MAC Address Format' option, under the Options menu.
Copy MAC Address option now allows you to copy multiple MAC addresses.
Version 1.32
Added new menu items to the tray context menu: Start Scanning, Stop Scanning, and Advanced Options.
Version 1.31
Fixed the sorting of the IP Address column.
