Utilizing Netstumbler ( www.netstumbler.com ),the appropriate wireless card, a GPS unit, and omni directional or yagi antenna (optional) you can pinpoint the location to a few yards. You can then convert the Raw information and import into MS Mappoint, Streets and Maps, or any Mapping program.

A GPS device is a receiver, not a transmitter. Unless he sends his GPS data over your network :) It occurs to me that you could do a little preparation work with a wireless laptop. By walking around your wireless coverage area you could identify public areas that have good signal strength. That might reduce the number of places you have to look. While the technique is probably useless in a large campus environment, it might be useful in a smaller single building environment. -Wayne -----Original Message----- From: David Laganière [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wireless LAN question Hi! Say an intruder connect himself to my wireless LAN, is there a way with a GPS and it's signal to know where he is physically? Where can I get more documentation on that?
