Logging internet access

[Giorgis]

I have setup a WinXP PC to connect to the internet.
I have three computers accessing the internet thru this computer.

Is it possible to log the websites accessed ?

Kind thanks
George

Sort of... if you use ZoneAlarm Pro, you can turn on logs (Alerts&Lots
-> Main -> Advanced -> Log Control), and view the log file in
c:\windows\internet logs\zalog.txt

Unfortunately, the logs are in IP form, not in a form like
"mail.yahoo.com". You have to look at the outgoing IP addresses, and
enter them into something like www.dnsstuff.com, to decipher what
websites were accessed.

Good luck!

Rather than waste all the effort and the resources of the good folks at
dnsstuff, you could simply do:

nslookup 216.109.127.60
Server: ns.inflow.pa.bo.comcast.net
Address: 68.87.64.196

Name: login1.login.vip.dcn.yahoo.com
Address: 216.109.127.60
