Hallo!

Could anybody tell some soft which will monitor users computers, how many ours they are active in internet. My boss wants to see if someone has to be advised make more work then just siting in internet.
So, he can just open monitor and at the end of day see some graphics. Please, if someone remember something.

Thnx

One of the first things that come to mind would be ISA Server.

Thank You for advise. Anyway ISA Server do not look easy to use for noobs as my boss is in governmental stucture...! Also, I red overview - it looks real remote management tool:

We have LAN only, and inside LAN have to be monitored.

Is there some more (mostly) software solution?

Thanx

hmm isa does the things your wanting to do it is very hard for noobs, you could setup a proxy server http://www.wingate.com/ on one of the servers or one of the pc's and route all traffic through it or you could install something like iris its a little easier to work with http://www.eeye.com/html/products/Iris/features.html

Also if your sharing just a dsl connection you might want to enable logging on the router and let your boss rumage through it at the end of the day every day also you can get a router that has built in features for filtering and creating some nice charts and graphs from log files on the router incomming and outgoing traffic

Yes, Derek21, it is also my opinion that I have to by more expensive Router for these purposes. Thank You.

But, I have to ask, which router is the best for these purposes? Somehow Linksys routers did not show any stability in the past, but what about other models and producers?
