i have a wireless router connected to my desktop, is there a way to see who else is connected to it? and what they are doing? Also, when you vacation at hotels that have wireless internet, you can open up your browser and type in google, and they would show you an agreement that it is not their fault if your privacy has been violated on their network by other people. is there a way i can do the same thing?

You might be able to see who else is on the wireless network by logging into your router. This is usually done with a web browser, and going to the IP address of the router. This will look something like http://192.168.0.1 , though yours may look slightly different. There will be an menu that says something like "Attached Devices" or "LAN Setup" that will show you who is on the network.
You may also be able to see who is on the network by viewing the workgroups in "My Network Places."
As to the message: that is most likely a custom firmware that was made for them, or a commercial router. You may be able to hack your router, if it is a Linksys router, to display a similar message, with Linux, but it is probably easier to purchase a router for that purpose, like a "FON Router."

http://192.168.1.1 is usually the local ip for your router. If nothing comes up at that address, check your manual, or look it up online via your router's manufacturer. You'll need to know the username and login to gain access to the router's UI, again, if you haven't ever gone into it, check your manual for the defaults. From there, you'll be able to see all wireless connections.
