You want the physical location of the AP you are connected to? You'd have to do some local wardriving with a GPS and plot out signal strengths on a map, or do some fox-hunting with a directional antenna.

Us the wireless configurator built into windows to look for APs, or Netstumbler...

I don't understand this, you have an app on your desktop that you _want_ other people to download? Set up a WWWeb or FTP server on the DMZ of your router...
