Monitoring Home Network

[thejimbo]

We have a standard wireless home network, with the router plugged into the phone line and the home PC's connected wirelessly, expect mine, im hard wired. Now my question is this, is there a piece of software I can run to view internet activity, eg web pages viewed, data d/l etc, of all computers connected to the router?

Well dependant on your router, you should be able to gather some details from there. What router do you have?

Again dependant on the router you can flash their firmware to a more feature rich flavour e.g. tomato (pun intended) which allows you to see bandwidth, use QoS, boost wireless strength etc

If you are using internet explorer on the PCs, it logs every web page ever visited in the index.dat files. You do need a program to view them, but some are freeware and you can find them through Google.
