Hi Herman,
I don't think you'd get what you wanted from ipconfig /all-it would show you
gateways/dns etc but not other machines that are connected to yours. Netstat
could do that. Your router may have some ability to show connections in a gui
or even in the logs.
You could possibly use arp to work out MAC addresses too. Working out IP's on a
wireless network is only part of the solution though--where are they
physically? You'd need some kind of tool to narrow that down. I know
Netstumbler is good for checking AP's but don't know if it can be used to find
wireless NIC's that are connected. Might be worth investigating--someone else
on the list may be better at telling you that. As ever, change the keys for the
SSID often if it is using WEP or go to WPA if the router has the capability.
Good luck.

Murad,
I admit that the owner of a network could get into trouble for
trying to ID the person who has illegally connecting to their
network.
Uh, wouldn't just running ipconfig/all show one all the computers on
their network. And being as it would be run only on the network
owner's computer they haven't "hacked" anything have they.
