Installed the software w no problems, can someone tell me what this program is used for and how to use it(I see other networks other than my own, how do I use it or connect to them. The forum for netstumbler is confusing and hard to use. Perhaps Jeff can advise me how to use and configure this tool-- Thank you. John
You Install software with not knowing what It's used for ?
You want to steel a wireless signal by mooching off someone's 802.11* ? If that's the case, Your in the wrong newsgroup. If you have your own wireless network as you say, Why would you want or need to get on some other persons signal ?
Learn how to spell moron!!(steel????)
NetStumbler just does a site survey, listing access points in range, their ID, the type of network, the channel, and also signal quality data.
Useful for setting your AP to an unused channel.
Thanks. Can't come up with anything better huh ? :) What a joke.
I'm the moron ? You install software you know nothing about ? The moron is you. : )
John is right. Does you mother know that you are using her machine?
"John" hath wroth:
No, it's not. It's the same Jelsoft forum software used by many other weblogs and forums. I suggest you go back to the Netstumbler forum and do some reading. It's amazing what you'll learn from the FAQ, installation instructions, help files, user comments, bugs (oh well), and what the search tools find. Speaking of Google, I incribed "how to use netstumbler" and came up with:
Nope. I can't, but not for the obvious reason.
Since you dropped my name, you probably have read some of my postings.
99.9% of them include a rant about supplying what you have to work with. What version of Netstumbler did you install. What laptop or PDA did you install it upon? What exact operating system are you running? What wireless card are you using? The other part of my all too common rants is the fundamental question "What are you trying to accomplish"? I can't tell from your request for advice. Are you having installation problems? Is it running but does nothing? Are you getting funny numbers?Did you notice my URL? It's LearnByDestroying.com, which means your should do some screwing around, break something, troubleshoot, fix it, learn how it works in the process, and only then yell for help.
Yes she does. Does yours ?
So what's this in your original post ?
"software w no problems"
Stuart.
Ever heard of abbreviations, idiot? Why don't you go service your boyfriend Kevin?
Mom still letting you play with her computer huh ?
Speaking of service. You still doing mom ?
Good job of making yourself look the moron.
How many time are you going to post that same link?
Hard to say.
I have t.
So you make a post that is full of grammatical errors, yet when someone else makes a typo or spelling error you describe them as a 'moron' ?
Unless your prepared to ensure your posts are free from error, I would suggest its a bad policy to give abuse to others for similar errors.
Stuart.
Kevin, it seems you are still around. Your post leads me to believe that you are terrestrially inhibited. In case you did not know, "Wardriving is not a crime .. however, it has largely become etiquette to leave access points open for others to use just as someone expects to find open access points while on the road."
On the road Kevin implies that a person unlike in the 1800's may travel more than twenty miles from there home during there lifetime. How do you expect us to access the web with our laptops if we are imprisoned to one router in one place like you are?
I bet you can't even move into the next room, let alone reply from the beach like I am doing here. This free sharing of, anonymous Internet access to anyone with WiFi capability, is also the basis of wireless community networks, which are often considered the future of the Internet.
Free Wireless Everywhere
I don't know what all the fuss is about MacStumbler anyway except maybe that it keeps a history and talks. If you really want to know what wifi waves are invading your space "The AirTrafficControl Widget," on Apple discovers more signals long before MacStumbler trips over them.
Run them both and see for yourself next time you go on the WarPath!
