Today I found a cool android program that scans your network called overlook ring. I never realized how many wifi enabled devices I have on my network.I am interested to know if I have a lot or normal amount. Share what u got.

My list:
Sony viao i5 laptop running fedora 14
IPod touch 4tn Gen that my 3 year old uses for games
Wife's droid incredible
Moto xoom
Moto atrix
1 ps3 slim used for entertainment center
1 old ps3 used for gaming
And a roku box in the bedroom.
An old school and athlon XP box running as a media server in the basement: fedora 11
 
Yes Overlook Ring is a very useful wi-fi scanning and probing tool. Anyway what is on my network:

Macbook Pro plugged directly into DSL, also working as wi-fi router.
Freedom netbook running Linux Mint.
Samsung Galaxy S with 2.2 Froyo.
 
Here's what I have at the moment:
IBM ThinkCentre w/Ubuntu
My Primary Computer (custom build)
MyTouch 4G

But about a week ago I had:
IBM ThinkCentre w/Ubuntu
Primary Computer (custom build)
MyTouch 4G
My wife's netbook
My Brother in law's laptop
My Brother's laptop
iMac G5 (recently died)
 
Moto Droid

HTC Dinc

HTC Thunderbolt

PS3 Slim

XboX 360

iPod Touch Gen III

(1) Cisco Router

(2) Linksys wireless bridges
(1) Wireless security camera
(1) Ink Jet Printer

Overlook Fing isn't as comprehensive as I'd like. I have two devices connected via wireless (in the exact same subnet) that don't even show up in Fing. I can ping both from within Fing so I know that they are accessible. I've tried power cycling the devices but it does no good. Heck... I even tried clearing the ARP cache on the gateway router but they simple won't show up in Fing...

Beijing Airport, Terminal 3, airside. 38 nodes, 29 'Apple', 1 'Samsung' my phone. I think that says something about the popularity of iPhones in China.

At my parents' house, we currently have:

(2) desktops acting as media servers
(1) desktop in the basement family area
(2) nettops configured as media frontends (running XBMC)
(4) active laptops (all of which are running XBMC, as well)
(2) XBOX360
(4) smartphones (3 Android devices and my dad's work iPhone)

It can get pretty congested when media is streaming across the network but, otherwise, it's pretty solid. Our internet connection isn't the greatest so we can't take advantage of online streaming applications very well.

I hooked my laptop up to one of our TVs last night and finally got the XBMC Remote for Android to work. It's awesome because we were able to scroll through the movies and shows, read synopsis data, and settle on something to watch while sitting around in the kitchen. I'm going to set it up on our other media PCs so I can easily queue movies for any room in the house. :D
