Monitoring Modem Activity through LAN.
I guess you could remotley access each person's machine using the admin share
(\\workstation01\c$) and then browse out to thier cookie/temp internet file folder. Not great, but it's a start. "First Man" wrote: Hi buddies Being a system admin and to implement company rules, I would like to monitor the activities of company employees. Without going into privacy issues, I just want to see if somebody is using his/her pc for online activity, and preferably the websites as well (plus msn/yahoo chatting if possible). I understand there are a number of software for network activity monitoring, but all that I know are for LAN. In our office, although we have a building lan (20 PCs) but internet activity is all via dialup modems on individual PCs. So how would it be possible to monitor (via LAN) their activities that they are doing via THEIR modems??? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Cheers. |

Hi All
Thanks to all the respondents. I understand that it is not the best way to monitor and web access via LAN is the preferred method. W are planning to go towards the same direction, but in the meantime, I would like to have at least some monitoring. I forgot to mention a few more details. The Server is Windows NT 4, while the clients are running Win XP/98. Now is there any way to setup admin share (\\workstation01\c$) on each machine or is it enabled by default. What do I need to do to get it done? Also, it will indicate only the past activity. Is there any way to monitor if some user is currently active (eg packet monitoring through LAN for the activity which is going on remote modems)? Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated. Thank you. "=?Utf-8?B?U2Nvb3Rlcg==?=" wrote in message ...

It shouldn't be difficult to write an application to run on the PCs to monitor modem activity. The monitoring application could capture packets off the modem link and write info to a share or send them on the LAN. If I had to do this I'd look at using WinPcap (but I'm not sure if it can capture from dial up modem links): http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm Dave |
