824365 2009-10-26 19:52:00 Are you meaning on the LAN, or people out side on the Web ?

Have a look at the server logs, (I know Apache allows this) they should give you the address of the person(s) accessing it, time and date as well.

824366 2009-10-26 20:37:00 its a mini server from Uniform Server. Its running phpbb3 on apache and mysql. nedkelly (9059)
824367 2009-10-26 20:42:00 Or you can see that from most software firewalls if you only want to see who are connecting at the moment. Software Developer (15363)
824368 2009-10-26 20:45:00 Find the Apache logs - access.log (not too sure exactly where it will be on your hard drive - on my linux server it's in /var/log/apache2/) - they will list something along the lines of:



10.x.x.x - nagiosadmin [26/Oct/2009:18:12:19 +1300] "GET /nagios/images/delay.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 966 "10.x.x.x "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-NZ; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

The first IP address shown is the IP which accessed your server. The bit after "GET" shows what file they grabbed.

824369 2009-10-26 21:41:00 There's a 3rd party program called IP Scanner. It's a free download from pcworld.com and it can show you all the IP addresses that are/have accessed the network stainton (15333)
824370 2009-10-26 22:56:00 If you go into Apache / Show server logs, there are two sets of logs you can look over. wainuitech (129)
