434307 2006-02-27 22:01:00 Hi everyone.
Can anyone know of a way to monitor internet usage for different users on the same computer ... There are 5 of us using the same comp running XP Home SP2 and we each have our own "user accounts". I need to find a way to monitor each individual so that any "overage" of the capped limit can be charged to the appropriate user. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards Dave.

If however you were going thru a proxy server, you could catch usernames.

So, you need to find a proxy server to setup on the pc, and configure the pc to access thru the proxy.

Will see if I can track 1 down for you

Thought there may have been something associated with the user accounts that I missed ... It's not a big issue, just one that I thought may have had a simple solution.
