Greetings All,
 
 In preparing to switch to a high speed microwave dish hook-up, I have  been 
researching wireless routing. We have a small basement appartment which I  
want to allow access to my connection. 
 During my research I found a couple of articles touching on packet  sniffers 
which show and record all activity, sites visited, etc. I have no  interest 
in invading our renters privacy by spying on their internet activities  but 
also mentioned in the articles was how this software can be used to retrieve  
passwords and other personal info. There was also a short mention of using the  
software to determine if there is a sniffer present to collect this info but I  
found no specifics on how to do this. 
 I downloaded "Smart Sniffer" v1.30 (freeware) to experiment but  without a 
wireless network, experimentation is difficult.
 I'm just looking to protect myself. Does anyone have any info on this  or 
know of a site that covers it?
 
Many thanks,
-Phil Williams-
