You can check to see how many addresses are being handed out if you AP provides DHCP service.  Even if your AP doesnt provide DHCP and someone is just associated to the AP then there should be a screen or some sort of log that shows you who is connected.  It will show you the MAC address unless you have some other sort of authentication set up.\n\nIf your AP provides firewall service also, then you can check all outgoing connections as they are being built to see where they are going.

Firstly ensure that that can both communicate with one another. To do this try pinging one another, i am assuming you both have winxp. Ping your computer. see if their is packet loss. If their replace the cables. TO do this click start - run - cmd then type ping then from your laptop his name or pref his IP, check his ip by right clicking tcip/ip properties in my network places - then view network connections. If you can you can communicate to his pc and you used a straight cable (the wires are the same at each end) a hub is generally old so your probably using a switch which might forgive the use of crossover cables. Make sure you are both part of the saem work group (right click on my computer - computer name) and put static ip' in both your computers (192.168.0.1-254) where 1-254 is a range. Are ou both running the same operating systems? very important Turn firewalls off NB!

if they have file sharing enabled you will be able to see their shares quite easily. You could also log into their folders with a user id and password. As many user id's are owner and a blank password, it is possible to seriously compromise a computer. keep in mind the wireless connection is also on the inside of the nat virtual firewall so unless the other pc is running a firewall, then even more entry points exist.

Find yourself a port scanner.  You can get one that will allow you to scan the PC, find out what it's called (host name/netbios name) and even give you the username of anyone logged in to it.\n\nI just did a quick search and found one called Angry IP Scanner.  It will do all the above.  Should be enough to provide you with the clues you need.  http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

Yes, if you have individual accounts set up for the various users of your computers:\n\nGo to My Computer and right-click; drop down to "Manage"\nA window will pop up; in the left-hand pane, you will see "Computer Management - Local" - if there is a plus sign to the left of it, click on that to open it.  \nYou should see several categories; the first should be "Event Viewer"\nClick on the plus sign beside it; you will see four categories drop down\nDouble-click on "Security" to open it\nIn the right-hand pane, you will see a list of "events" that have taken place;  under the "User" heading, you're looking for the names of the users who have accounts on the computer.  These should have dates and times associated with them in the appropriate columns.  You can tell who logged on and when they logged on from this information.

Ahhh....you've asked the "who" question.  You can dissect the system logs and install keyloggers and other system recorders all you want, but none of those things will tell you "who" was on your computer.  All you'll know for sure is that someone was using your computer and possibly where they went online.  Those programs are only useful when you already know who is using the computer and you want to monitor their usage.  To determine the answer to the "who" question, you would need to use some sort of two-factor authentication (password plus maybe a biometric ID or something), or you would need physical surveillance such as a little video camera.  The cameras are quite popular and would definitely answer the "who" question for you.
