Hey Daryl,

Ok here's what to do, if you've got a Linux laptop lying around  
install Kismet on it, and then go for a walk, you should be able to  
locate the AP and get SSID without any problems. As soon as the  
signal strength shows really high, you'll be very close to the AP, so  
just start looking around that general vicinity, and you should find  
it. If you've got a Mac laptop lying around you can use Kismac to do  
the same.

If you cant find the AP, you should at least be able to find out what  
channel it's on, and what the SSID is, if that's the case, a crude  
option would be to set up another AP on the same channel with a  
really high gain Antenna attached to it. This would pretty much  
disable the other AP, you could even set the SSID the same if you  
wanted to.

Depending how much of a worry this is to you, you could always buy  
the Airmagnet software suite, and that would lead you right to it if  
you want to spend money that is, it's really good s/w, but I have no  
idea how much it costs, my co paid for it.

I'd start with loading up Kismit/Kismac though, and go for a walk  
though, it should be quite easy to pinpoint roughly where it is that  
way, and then just have a really good look around. If you're in the  
UK, depending where you are I'd be willing to help out if you want?  
If not, if you've got any other questions gimme a shout either on or  
off this list.
