Re: [Netstumbler] Browse Networks

[Headshot <headshot_001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well - firstly, may I think everyone for their input on my questions
yesterday. I would especially like to thank Demon_Semon for his info.
Agreed, I can see how some may have found it a little over the top but it is
not like there aren't a 1000+ websites out there with the same info. A
flaming thread does not answer any questions.

TBH - DS is the only person who seemed to make an honest attempt at
answering my queries as oppose to *contact the admin* type answers.

DS info strayed a little from what I was trying to achieve so I will rehash
my original questions to see if I can gain any further knowledge from the
list.

...

Around my area there are some 802 networks. Some are secure - some are not.
I DO NOT want to break into the secure networks. I figure that if some are
unsecure (WEP not on) then they may be public networks. What I was asking is
how, using a WinXP machine, can I connect and browse files / services /
whatever to find out what they do. I know using my LAN at home, my router
sends IP address to the clients using DCHP but I also have to be on the same
workgroup etc aswell.

People have said *contact the admin*. Okay - good in theory but how do I do
that if I cannot connect to the network in the first place. It's similar to
picking up a CB channel, trying to physically find who is talking without
being able to talk back to them to ask. Get my drift?!

Soooo - any constructive info as oppose to flaming someone who is trying to
help would be appreciated. Anyone who feels that their comments may get them
into trouble on this list is welcome to mail me private style.

Thank you ALL for your help.

Headshot.
