The trick is understanding what you are seeing. You can use something like Wireshark or Netmon to see what the network traffic is but another matter to go through all the packets and work out what people are looking at. If you need a log of what sites are being visited, you are best of looking at some kind of proxy solution
Microsoft’s ISA server might be overklill but you can download a free trial of it. Something like the WinGate proxy software might be cheaper and easier for you. I am guessing that you don’t have a huge network.
Hope that this helps. If you need more assistance, feel free to contact me.

This is kinda like stalking.. and it would be unfair when people read their e-mails.. you could be reading personal things.
The network users need to know what they’re doing? That’s weird. They should know what pages they are looking at.
You can usually get some info about your network by opening an internet browser and typing in the router’s IP addess. Most routers use 192.168.1.1 but it can be different for other routers.
