Program to monitor employee internet usage

A member of management has asked me to research available programs to log internet usage (web surfing) on our corporate 
network.

We are running a Windows server with a mix of XP and 2K clients.

What have some of you used to provide this in a report that management can use to show that a user is spending too much 
time on the internet?

I don't have a Linux box up and running, but if the right Linux based app is suggested, I would consider going that 
route.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please try and keep this on topic, I've seen questions like this before degrade into a privacy violation, "big 
brother" type of debate.
