Without the use of a valid WEP key the unauthorized wireless user will not
be able to get an IP in the 1st place.

You could check your DHCP log with a simple script against a file with mac
adresses of the allowed computers. Put that script into the cron and 
execute as often
as desired.
No tool, but an easy solution!

Greetings,

Does anyone know of a way or program that would let me know if an
unauthorized computer has connected to my wireless network and been
issued an ip address by DHCP? I am aware that I can check the DHCP log
to find this out, but I want something that will warn me in real time
that a computer has connected.

Thanks,

Kamal Habayeb
