I know very well how to check my MAC in my primary OS (Linux) and (I think) in my secondary OS (Win2k). But setting the ad-hoc mode is buried in a config file in linux, and I still don't know how to check in Win2k (no, I haven't been running Win2k, and I can see it says "managed" in Linux iwconfig so that's OK...) Might it be possible to run a local webserver that can check its ARP table against the list - it could even offer customized hints how to fix the problem. Assuming all the APs are on the same network and there's no routing at that level. (Of course if you can't get on you won't see the list, but if it was also a useful place to find updated agendas, wireless performance stats etc. so that people would go there, in addition to running the "display in the foyer", they might see that they had been a problem earlier). -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time) security@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
