I have several computers, a couple of printers and a desktop connected
to my home network, and the router assigns IP addresses via DHCP. Is
there a utility that will tell me what these assigned IPs are set to?
NetView doesn't show all of these. For some reason only two of the PCs
shows up. Thanks

Also, is there a tool that will show who is connected to my wireless
network?

You should use the means provided with your router to control and change
settings (web interface, telnet). There will be a DHCP assignment table,
somewhere. And most possibly an ARP cache listing, too. Scan through the
documentation of your router, look at the homepage of the manufacturer,
and visit forums provided. If that all doesn't help: ask within a router
hardware related group.

Use the same method as mentioned above.

Thanks, my router is DLINK wireless 4-port router. I've searched their
website and use the admin wizard interface to look for it, but cannot
determine these parameters. The router has default range of 100-199 IP
sub address (i.e., not the full xxx.xxx.xxx.255), but no obvious menu
to display what address or (ethernet MAC) are CURRENTLY assigned.
ARP/RARP is not active. BTW, what is the network newsgroup path?

Most SOHO D-Link router are configured on IP 192.168.0.1 by default. If
you didn't change this, than opening this link inside any browser should
open the setup pages:

http://192.168.0.1

Another often used address is 192.168.1.1 (just try). If nothing happens
you have to check your manual. Maybe you have to provide a password to
access the config pages (again: consult your manual).

You see a somewhat 'tabbed' interface inside the browser window. The
currently connected DHCP clients are listed on the Home->DHCP page.
The connected WAN clients can be found on Status->Wireless page.

Don't forget to set a good password on the Tools->Admin page. And maybe
you should take some time to control and correct the security settings.
(But: Be sure what you're doing! ;-) )
BTW, what is the network newsgroup path?

Dunno what's the best group for a D-Link. (Never had something to do with
one...) Maybe you first try this:

alt.internet.wireless

If they can't help, they sure can point you to a better place.

Ooops, pressed the button by accident then !!

I too have a DLINK wireless route (DSL904) and what you're looking for
is in 'Status' tab then 'DHCP clients' section on mine
