RE: Monitor XP (ICS ) client connections?

["Garzona, Harry" <GarzoHa () ffhsj com>]

Dave:

    For a few dollars your friend can go out and purchase a small router
(Linksys, netgear, etc) that does NAT and has logging capabilities. This
would be the user level quick solution because it will identify the IP
address of the machine and the sites visited in a simple to read
interface. Most devices will even e-mail you the logs.
Hope this helps,

Harry

Hi Dave,

is he looking for specific sites, or does he want to analyze traffic to
check what his employees are up to? If he is looking for specific sites,
a
simple logging proxy server with grep would be the simplest. If he needs
some kind of interface where he can click through the sites that his
employees have visited, then I think Edward Miller's suggestions should
be
fine.

It just depends what he is monitoring for.

Cheers,

Chris Meidinger
