RE: Internet usage and monitoring

Just an idea.
Setup an IPcop box (see http://sourceforge.net)
This can be configured as a proxy and gives great results.
You can also take advantage of protecting the network users from a great
number of intrusion attempts etc.

Linux based, easy to setup, runs on very little hardware, logs can be
exported to excel, can view with web interface. Costs nothing.

Subject: Internet usage and monitoring

Hello List,

I am looking for an idea/program to monitor users internet usage. Due to the

nature of the customer who requires the monitoring carried out, this program

must be able to run on a windows box and needs to be very reasonably priced 
(I have no control over budget unfortunately). I am aware of programs such 
as ISA server (too expensive) and squid (*nix based). Any other sugesstions 
would be great.Customers network is round a bout 20 workstations that need 
to be monitored, so pretty small in reality.

Looking forward to all your help.

TIA

Jono
