Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
Is there a website to download it. same wireless device. First check out the advice given in this post Try selecting a different device option (if present) on the Devices menu. I have an Intel chipset in my laptop that appears listed as both Prism 2 NDIS 5.1. Netstumbler only works with NDIS selected. The NDIS driver for a card is usually available from the card vendor or chip vendor. It may not be stated that it is NDIS - just shown as a driver for a suitable OS. NDIS 5.1 was for XP and 2003 only - so it is likely that a driver for XP will contain the NDIS 5.1 driver. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network..._Specification If you are have a problem or are interested in Netstumbler then you will probably get better info from the Netstumbler boards such as http://www.netstumbler.org/f20/ndis-...ler-faq-10798/ -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
I'm not sure what kind of information you wish to obtain exactly, but for Windows based desktops the following may be a handy alternative: Metageek inSSIDer - http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider - 'Direct download link' (http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/download) It uses the native Windows API so there are far less issues with specific hardware and driver requirements. If you can connect to a wireless network from your laptop, then this should be able to show you the networks in your area along with some information. Might be worth mentioning this in the Wiki too. I know it's Windows specific and may not be as detailed in terms of information, but it's a lot easier to install. -- furonfour furonfour's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17114 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
You may want to try another wireless router. Some have better channel switching capabilities than other.

I've checked my wireless signal with Netstumbler and the Speed column shows 54mb, but every few seconds (not periodically) drops to 0.5mb for a second or two. Is this normal ?

Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
Try selecting a different device option on the Devices menu. I have an Intel chipset in my laptop that appears listed as both Prism 2 NDIS 5.1. Netstumbler only works with NDIS selected. As an aside, I have found that Netstumbler the SB3's own signal strength meters differ. I set mine by displaying signal strength on the SB3, then experimenting with the aerial position on the router for max signal. I found that placing the aerial horizontally significantly improved signal strength on the SB3 but had no effect on that recorded by Netstumbler. Then switch through channels one at a time note both signal strength AND stability. On some channels found the signal strength was initially high but then dropped significantly after a minute or two. You can then compile a list of channels in order of performance. Then use Netstubler if/when you experience problems to identify other devices. You can then try other channels in order of preference from your list. Also note that some microwave ovens, among other appliances, can cause interference that won't be shown by Netstumbler. -- rbz5416 rbz5416's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12089 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
I have a Transporter and most of the time it works ok, but occasionally I suffer drop outs in the audio - it develops a stutter This problem seems to occur every evening at the same time, which makes me wonder if I am getting interference from another wireless network. I understand from reading this -http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsSecondGuide - that I can use NetStumbler to see what other networks are operating near me and on what channels they operate on. I have installed NetStumbler on my wireless lap top, but can not work out how to use it!! Can anyone give me some setup advice please? I have a Netgear Wireless ADSL Router and I have tried using channels 1, 11 and 13. My Transporter works ok for most opf the time, but usually after about 23.00 each evening I start getting drop outs in the audio. I am sure it is more of a network problem than hardware or software otherwise I would be getting the problem on a more intermittent basis? Quote from http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsSecondGuide If you have a laptop with wireless networking, install NetStumbler (Windows) or iStumbler (Mac). These utilities let you see all the surrounding wireless networks and what channels they are operating on. You can also continuously graph the signal strength of a network at the Squeezebox's location. If you monitor your own network's signal strength while you change channels it's easy to determine which is the strongest channel. -- norderney Transporter (Black) - Arcam A85 Amp - BW CDM1NT Speakers - Yamaha CDRHD1500 Recorder norderney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
I've used iStumbler on the Mac and it WON'T work UNLESS the wireless device is transmitting its SSID. For security reasons, I have my network setup NOT to transmit SSID so that anyone visiting my home MUST know the network name and WPA password. You may be getting interference from someone who's doing the same thing and Net(i)stumbler won't help you.

Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
As the file ends in .tar (Tape ARchive), it is likely to be in unix format, although winzip will extract the code. Since there are so many different unix platforms, it is usual to request the user to compile them for their own specific unix flavour. You probably need to look for a windows version.

Re: [slim] How do you use NetStumbler?
NetStumbler is easy. Quick instructions for your purposes: 1) Fire it up 2) If the screen is blank, hit New 3) You should now have a window with a list of networks. Sort by the Signal+ column, now they're arranged in order of signal strength. 4) Look at the Chan column, this is the channel they're transmitting on. 5) Pick a channel for your network that is non-overlapping with the strongest other ones. For example, I see a total of 8 networks, all of which are on 6 or 1, so I picked 11 for myself. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
