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

Squid isn't it for network monitoring, is a Http proxy, in *NIX system
i usually use ntop [1], i don't know if it runs over windows, but is
free, and also is writed in PHP, so, you only need a web server
running on the machine you want to monitor, game over.
