Well, you could use some command line tools on the command prompt.
But if youre not sure about these, theres always an easy way:
Download a tool(s) to help you.
Kismet for windows (I assume you use windows :P) Just select the AP and press ctrl+c
you will see a list of the clients connected.

Or any of the hundreds of port scanners will work either.
Simply boot it up, make sure the IP range is set to the range your local network occupies: (ie-192.168.0.0 - 192.168.254.254) and scan. You will see all the computers connected to the network through this.

But why is this necesscary? Do you not use encryption? :0

nah i dont cuz my moms runs a yoga center out in the middle of knowhere and our nearest neighbour is a 5 min drive away and people come with laptops to check there emails and so on so theres no point encrypting it

when this place starts to get built up ill encrypt it

ill try out your kismet

thanks

No, dont have a look at netstumbler.
Its a mere toy compared with kismet.
And, it doesnt do the job that he originally wanted it to do.
(give a reading of all clients connected to the network)
