Feature Request : Adding PC Name and Mac Address in Monitoring Session. (Trac #27)

[ghost]

You should add pc name and mac address of each computer in monitoring session. When simultinous users is active if 3 users connect to the hotspot with the same login password we cant know who is who. If you add pc name and mac address we will see something like example user robert logged in and pc name would be IPAD-Robert or Iphone or robert-pc so we have idea of whois connected.

Due to limitations, we can't have the pc name. Its not retrieved at any time, or stored. If I find a simply way for Coova Chilli to retrieve and store it, I will.

MAC Address is already available, just click on the ip address. I could put it in it's own table if you want, it just was making the table too wide so it was "hidden" as a pop up in the ip address. Ideally, we need to make the "hidden" things more obvious.
