Solve : Sharing a Router?

Answer»

I share a linksys router with others on my floor.  Is it possible for me or others to monitor what's being downloaded or what SITES are being visited?  I agreed to share my router only if people agreed not to use it to download and share music.

Thanks.TRR:

Yes; you will need to install and use a packet sniffer.

DocYou can also get a log viewer for your Linksys and will be able to see exactly which sites are connected to and which computer originated the connection. View the out going log. The incoming log can be a bit confusing because it will log every hit by advertising sites, port scanners, and anything else that attempts to connect, whether a connection is made or not. The out going log ID's by IP address.  You can enter the routers setup an look at the DHCP table and will show the computer NAME and ASSOCIATED IP.
