    I am running Windows Vista Home Edition on my XPS M1530.... and for whatever reason Net Stumbler does not work on it (perhaps its not drfat n supported or incompatible with vista). I could use a program like Net Stumbler in my search for unsecured wireless across my college campus (I'm with our Computing Services Department) - any suggestions?

    Hi Wirelessman,

    Q1: What do you use the "Stumbler" for!?!?

    Q2: Can it tell you who are you connecting to when in a Cafe or a Public Place? You know if it is a Safe connection or not?

    Thanks,

    G! :)
