KisMAC
Nov 1 2007

JDOBLAK  Several have asked about the purpose of this utility; here's my experience:

I am responsible for (among other things) making sure that all our wireless networks are secure. KisMac allows me a quick way to ensure that none of our users unknowingly 'leave the front door open'.

It also allows me to check to see what channel other nearby networks are using; so that when we show up at an event and plug in our equipment, we can hard-code our router(s) to a channel that is several steps away from everybody else -- to avoid interference.

It's also been useful for detecting free WiFi access points that are not advertised in the 'real world'; just scanning the list of available SSIDs for one that is named something like 'CoffeeShop FreeNet' saves a lot of time when on the road.

I do this all the time with Cisco's VPN client for Mac -- it does work on most networks; but because the Mac (well, most Macs) doesn't authenticate against AD (Active Directory), it is not normally a citizen of the domain, and you can't get away with using simple machine names like you might be able to while you are physically in the office.

Try using a fully-qualified domain name as the address; for instance, instead of 'mycomputer', use 'mycomputer.domain.net', or whatever your servers are config'd to use.

An easier method is to hit Apple-D ('duplicate') so that you have more than one copy of the application file (they must have different names). I name one RD1, another RD2, and RD3, and so on... then I select the whole bunch of them and drag them into the dock. I regularly connect to four or five Win2003 servers at a time this way.
