Description
===========
Wireless Network Watcher is a small utility that scans your wireless
network and displays the list of all computers and devices that are
currently connected to your network.
For every computer or device that is connected to your network, the
following information is displayed: IP address, MAC address, the company
that manufactured the network card, and optionally the computer name.
You can also export the connected devices list into html/xml/csv/text
file, or copy the list to the clipboard and then paste into Excel or
other spreadsheet application.

System Requirements And Limitations

===================================
* This utility works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server
2003/2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
* This utility can only scan a wireless network that you're currently
connected to. It cannot scan other wireless networks.
* In rare cases, it's possible that Wireless Network Watcher won't
detect the correct wireless network adapter, and then you should go to
'Advanced Options' window (F9), and manually choose the correct network
adapter.
* although this utility is officially designed for wireless networks,
you can also use it to scan a small wired network.

Versions History
================
* Version 1.10
o Added 'User Text' column, which allows to enter your own text for
a specific computer/device, from the Properties window (Alt+Enter).
The text that you write will be displayed for the same device in
future scans. (The devices information is stored in the .cfg file of
Wireless Network Watcher)
o Wireless Network Watcher now displays the first date/time that
the specified device was found, and the number of times that the
device was detected. (The information is saved in the .cfg file)
o When there are multiple IP address blocks on a single network
card, Wireless Network Watcher now scans all of them (In previous
versions, it scanned only the first IP addresses block)
* Version 1.05
o Fixed Wireless Network Watcher to scan the entire network when

the subnet mask is not 255.255.255.0, for example, if the subnet mask
is 255.255.254.0, Wireless Network Watcher will scan 512 addresses.
For now, it's limited for up to 4096 IP addresses, to avoid from very
long scanning.
o Improved the scanning on slow computers or slow networks.
* Version 1.00 - First release.

Using Wireless Network Watcher

==============================
Wireless Network Watcher doesn't require any installation process or
additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply extract the
executable file (WNetWatcher.exe) from the zip file, and run it.
If you want, you can also download WNetWatcher with full
install/uninstall support (wnetwatcher_setup.exe), so a shortcut for
running WNetWatcher will be automatically added into your start menu.
After running WNetWatcher, it automatically locates your wireless
adapter, and scans your network. After a few seconds, you should start
see the list of computers that are currently connected to your network.
If from some reason, WNetWatcher failed to locate and scan your network,
you can try to manually choosing the correct network adapter, by pressing
F9 (Advanced Options) and choosing the right network adapter.
