Who's in my virtual WiFi?

[the_hofers]

Hi, One would normally have the WiFi router show a list of all computers in the network. My WiFi, however, uses Win7's built-in virtual WiFi miniport (my OS is Win7 Pro x64). A list of computer names, IP's and MAC addresses would be ideal. I was unable to solve the issue with the help of netstat commands (stupid me). Connectify won't run on my machine. There is a certain Fabian Enkler's tool called Virtual WiFi which does run but only tells the number of clients at any time. Any idea? Many thanks.

Dont know much about virtual WiFi, but got a ruff idea.
Perhaps try "NetResView" from Nirsoft, if it will work on W7.
Here:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/netresview.html
They may have other stuff that may help, generally brilliant site and
source of Freebie Software. Note, many AV scanners etc consider Nirsoft
as dodgy, this is because they (amonst other things) produce s/w
that recovers passwords etc. Much like the stuff that System Internals
did before MS bought them out.

EDIT: yes, it works on both W7 & W2008. If it does not help you, message
NirSoft and ask it it can be expanded to assist your needs, he is usually quite
ready to implement suggestions and is constantly updating his software.

Something that may be of interest (quote from the hosting site):

What is Virtual Router?
Virtual Router is a free, open source software based router for PCs running Windows 7
or Windows Server 2008 R2. Using Virtual Router, users can wirelessly share any internet
connection (Wifi, LAN, Cable Modem, Dial-up, Cellular, etc.) with any Wifi device (Laptop,
Smart Phone, iPod Touch, iPhone, Android Phone, Zune, Netbook, wireless printer, etc.)
These devices connect to Virtual Router just like any other access point, and the connection
is completely secured using WPA2 (the most secure wireless encryption.)

Thx for the replies.
I've, at very long last, found a freeware tool (http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/) that serves the purpose.
