| I manage a small ofiice with about 15 PCs running Win98 and WinXP. Is there
anyway I can see what website one is looking at on another work station from
my work station? I was not sure if some of the utilities such as Netstat
would work for this.
Thanks
Kevin

| Network+ states peer to peer should not be over 10 hosts.

| I guess it's Peer to Peer. Just a Hub. No Server.
Thanks

I'm not sure Netstat will tell you what _other_ stations are connected
to. I mean you can use Netstat on a workstation to see what the workstation
you are sitting at is connecting to and what ports in use.
I think you need some type of network sniffing/analyzing software.
You can use logging on a proxy server and just search through the logs or
possibly run netstat on the proxy server.

| You may be able to access their history folder remotely via
administrative share, etc or install a personal firewall on each computer
that can be managed remotley (Kerio does that). But I think your best bet
would be to invest in a router/firewall that can do logging for
inbound/outbound based on workstation ip address. Even my cheap Linksys has
basic logging. I would recommend downloading/reading the manuals for the
various devices to see what would suit your needs - most of them are
available at their websites. --- Steve

You don't say if you are running a domain or a workgroup. It sounds
like a workgroup.
There are several options for this but the best option is probably to
install a lightweight web proxy server on one of the PCs. If you have
a dedicated server install it on that otherwise on a PC that is left
on all the time (the proxy server will have to be on before the users
can access the web). There's several proxy servers to choose from eg.
Wingate and some are free.
Once you have installed the proxy server you will need to goto into
Internet Explorer on all of the PCs and set it to use the proxy server
rather than accessing the websites directly (Goto Tools, Internet
Options, Connections, LAN Settings).
The proxy server can be set to log all web access by the users (or in
your case by machine). If you are not sat at the proxy server you can
access the proxy server remotely using something like PCanywhere. The
proxy server might even speed up web access a bit.
Be aware that users could get round this by disabling the webproxy
settings in Internet Explorer. There are ways solve this this by for
example by not allowing users direct access to the Internet, so they
*have* to use the proxy server or have no web access, but I wont go
into this here.
Thanks,
Bruce.

| You could turn on Telnet on each machine and run Netstat over that...
