Does anyone have experience with Pocket Lan or any other progs for wifi sniffing, etc? I have been trying Pocket Winc, and like it so far. I saw a thread for the 4355 that mentioned an interference with HPs built in wireless prog., however. I can't seem to find any threads about the other programs.

I have a 4155.

Search on pocketwarrior, this is a very nice program that you can use with a gps.

What does pocket WinC allow you to do that the built in utility doesn't? How do they coexist (I also have a 4150).

Pocket Winc is pretty nice.

What it does is list all the networks that are available and shows you whether they are open/wep enabled... etc..

You can also specify one to connect to and check if internet access is available. It provides a nice UI for it.

PocketWiNc works great with it, PocketWarrior doesn't even see the card.

vxsniffer (http://www.cam.com/vxsniffer.html) will let you view(non-encrypted) IP pachet information and export it. You can see what other people are doing, ie what is in the IP pachets they are sending. :twisted: This is only for troubleshooting mind you. :wink:

i'm partial to Toshiba's ConfigFree (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=627233&moid=null&ct=). i'm not sure what cards are supported by it, but it definitely makes connecting to hotspots much easier than the built in mechanism of WM2003.

Correct, to a point.... When using the Ambicomm drivers Pocket Warrior doesn't see the card, however using the Senao drivers with the Ambicomm card, it works fine.

I use Pocket Boingo. It works with the Ambicom and SanDisk cards and the internal WiFi on the 4155.
