No, that will only show you the interfaces on your own computer.
Any computers on your network which use DHCP from the router will be
shown in the admin or status pages of the router, using
http://192.168.0.1 in a browser to get to the router's admin functions.
The DDWRT replacement BIOS for the WRT54G gives more information than
the original linksys BIOS, but you *can* brick your linksys doing the
upgrade...
Neither version of the BIOS will show you any computers which are
connected with wired static IP addresses. Wireless static IP addresses
will only show up under the wireless section. The DDWRT BIOS allows you
to reserve an IP address for a particular hardware MAC, so your wireless
connected laptop will always show up at the same IP.
To see ALL of the boxes on your network, use:
arp -e
This will report all wired and wireless boxes which your machine can 'see'.
