Looking for clarification/ideas. Want to monitor the kids web browsing. I know I can browse the history sitting at the kids box. Interested in lan solution.
My first thought was to share the history folder in windows explorer. But, with the IE6 upgrade, the file formats and history handling has changed a bit.
Am I missing something or looking at a software (suggest)solution? Any corp admins out there? How do Inc's do it, monitor their employees?. Somehow they "capture" the surf history, yes?

Lan= cable with linksys router
My pc = Win98se with IE6
kids= WinXP with IE6

Boxes are already talking and sharing no probs.
Thanks in advance!

check this site out http://www.kidmon.com . they have lots of info on what you are trying to do.

i don't think you are looking for something quite as robust as what a lot of companies use.

I know there is one called Chatnanny, that logs pretty much everything including both sides of instant message type things. Not sure on how it runs, if at all, across a network though. But it, and most others (with the exception of actual filtering programs- like cyberpatrol) run hidden in the background.


what you're looking for is monitoring software, logs web pages hit, among other things regardless of whether or not the cache and history have been cleared.

I think most of the products for this will cost around $30 FYI.


Maybe this is something to look at as well http://www.iopus.com/starr.htm
