Anyone knows how to find users connected to an airport?
In other words, with airport express, is there a way to know who is connected to the airport or what computers are active on the airport network?
thanks.

You can find out this information with the help of the "Airport Management Tools". The link to download this software is found under the heading "Other Resources" at:
http://www.apple.com/support/airport/

I want to know the same thing. I want to be able to tell when others are signed onto my Base Station (original silver) network. After searching all over the Apple website looking for the managment utility and coming up dry I found this MacWorld article:
www.macworld.com/news/2004/04/19/airportmgmt/index.php
This was the important addendum:
Sometime after this story was posted, Apple pulled distribution of the AirPort Management Tools package from its Web site. Technical notes posted to Apple's Web site since then read, "AirPort Management Utility 1.0 may be found on the software CD included with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (PoE/UL 2043)." MacCentral has not yet received word from Apple about the download's status.
Does anyone else have a suggestion of another utility that would give this type of info?

Sorry HMB, I didn't remember the part about looking under "Additional Resources" on the sidebar of the Apple page. Here is the direct link to the tools:
