Hi all,

Do you have any update in 2010?
Especially in relation to W7.

Thank you,
Rajko

HI again, that appears to confirm it as the post preceding this one with the test sentence at the end displayed the apostrophe correctly without the forward slashes and didn’t ask me to enter a captcha. Something in your captcha page script appears to be messing things up.

BTW Raymond, out of curiosity, can you tell me why when I use an apostrophe it prints 7 forward slashes after the word and immediately before the apostrophe. Is it my end or your end. Then again, I think it might be your end as my first post has it displayed correctly with the apostrophe after Nirsoft and before the s with no forward slashes. The slashes only appear in my post immediately before this one. The first (and second post as well) didn’t require me to enter a captcha while the last post with the 7 forward slashes and an apostrophe did require me to enter a captcha so I am wondering if there is something in the script that handles the captcha page messing something up. Not a biggy, just naturally curious :)

Testing, testing, this sentence contains a word with an apostrophe to see if it’s still happening.

What do you mean by hidden, no SSID? If so, I can see them fine, I have a couple of them viewable at the moment. They just show no label in the SSID column but the rest of the info is there.

The only major difference I can see is that inSSIDer graphs RSSI, which definitely has its uses, and also shows the speed while the Nirsoft tool doesn\\\\\\\’t. Though the latter may be because I have my wireless locked so as to ignore everything but G on my network. When I have the time I will switch over to All (i.e. A through G) to see what additional networks I see.

I would say that the main advantage WirelessNetView has is that it doesn\\\\\\\’t need installing, i.e. can be run from a stick or external drive, will pick up your active wireless card automatically and with oui.txt added, is only 66KB unzipped.

Ooops, got confused about that. Didn’t know that there’s a Wireless”NET”view. I thought it was the keyview :P

Hmmm, WirelessNetView is unable to find hidden network?

Raymond, sorry but no, click the link I gave and see for yourself, WirelessNetView is a sniffer. In fact I am looking at it on one of my tablets at this very moment showing me the 8 other wireless networks accessible from my flat. You are thinking of WirelessKeyView.

BTW, if you do try it scroll down the Nirsoft page and get oui.txt and add it to WirelessNetView’s folder. This adds another column showing the makers name for the wireless networks sniffed.
