There are a lot of wireless signals in my apt.(over 15) and I was looking for an application to see what frequency they are running at so i can set mine to one that is not being used or least being used. I heard of inSISDer but I can't find anything on it.
Is there any free application that lets you do this? Thanks

I assume by frequency, you are meaning channel.
Yeah, channel interference can be quite an trouble. The Intel wireless software supports it, I don't have much experience with Thinkpads, but don't they have a third party wireless software ? -
Download Network Stumbler
It is an excelent program

net stumbler no longer works with Vista or later.
You need inSSIDer, the Vista equivalent.
The website also developed CHANalyzer, a wireless landscaper or surveyor, which is what you are looking for. -
In the op's sig I see xp so he's ok with Network Stumbler
Thanks for the tip on inSSIDer surfasb. I will check it out as I am running W7 and Vista on my main laptop, and have to switch hard drive caddies to find out info on hotspots

I totally thought that was part of the Model #.
I'm thinking T9400 and 4GB is a relatively new computer. -
Thanks again for the tip
Downloaded and installed, running great in W7
I think I like the interface even better than Network Stumbler
Btw I still run xp for some things, and I too Have 4gb installed

Wireshark ( http://www.wireshark.org) will give you all kinds of information on wifi and channels and traffic.

When I need to run Wireshark, I attach it to a spare USB wifi adapter and leave my internal adapter alone. -
wifi inspector

wifi inspector has been getting progressively flakey as Win7 betas/RTM have progressed. Hopefully Xirrus will update their very useful software soon.

Do you mean the sidebar gadget (I agree) or the application (I haven't seen any issues--yet)
-
Sorry, yes, the gadget is very flakey. The standalone app is great.
