Try taking out your wireless connection profiles and then run NS. If you have broadcasting turned off on the AP, it shouldnt pick it up anymore.

I use a Linksys WRT54GS and have disabled broadcasting my SSID, I filter by MAC address to permit my wireless host only, and use WEP-PSK /TKIP encryption. I also use Zone Alarm Pro as well as many anti-malware apps (the latter which, I know, has nothing to do with what's showing up in Netstumbler). Yet when I run Netstumbler, I can still see my MAC address, SSID, and WEP for encryption. Under Vendor, though, it shows mine as "Fake". Any ideas?
Thanks,

What OS are you using? If XP is WZC disabled? Have you created a profile to use with NS?

Akron wrote:Gee, thanks. You know, some of us may be newbies to this site, but not to others. And some of us are experts in our own right in different areas. If it is such a bother to answer my question, could I trouble you enough to reference what you "went through" in another thread? I did, by the way, go through this forum's search function and could not find the answer I was seeking, hence, the question. I suppose I could spend a few hours trying to track down this elusive thread, but I was hoping that someone would be nice enough to point me in the right direction.
Thanks(?)
