Monitor all computers' activities on home network

I am using WRT54G, I have 3 pcs connected to this router, some wired, some wireless.
I need to monitor from my PC what my kids are doing on their PCs, including website visited, chat, email etc.
Can someone advice me which software to use, or do I need to buy additional hardware?
I have downloaded a application, however, it needs hub or switches on top of router. And my kids r connected by wireless and if I ask them to change to wired connection, they may not like it.
Can someone help?

I get the solution from here : http://www.anykeylogger.com/, It's trustworthy. What's more you'd better blocking some porn sites for kids.

Monitoring websites visited from my home network

I would like to monitor the websites visited by the individual computers on my home network. I would like to know if the syslog file created by the Arris NVG589 router will support this. Thank you!

Seriously doubt it as that's pretty much catching system info and errors. That's really the purview of the browser's history function.

BT Fon shows computers on my HOME network!!

Hi everyone -
Our HomeHub came already set up for BTFon and we hadn't really noticed ... until we started to see other computers on our HOME network! I have a mac and the people using our BT Fon are appearing in the sidebar on Finder - should they be able to get onto my Home network? I thought BT Fon was a separate network ... does anyone know why this is happening? I have reset the HomeHub and changed the password - and I'm not on BT Fon but on my HomeHub when I can see the other users.
Thanks!

Hello Avenir,
=======================================================================================
Ok - the good news is that you are *NOT* connected to Fon. I'm also pretty sure that your Homehub is ok - the only thing I would do is change the WPA password on the Homehub to something different than the Factory setting.
You can do this by going to:
http://192.168.1.254
W for Wireless Security.
Type a new password, and write it down on a Post-it note. Put the key into the Wireless Key box and click Apply. You will then need to use this same key in the Airport setup.
Any hosts which were connecting to your Wireless network now cannot be unless they can guess that password or have a lot of time on their hands.
=====================================================================================
If the hosts then show up again after we have changed the password, we have problems with Software on the Mac:
In this event, the bad news is that you might have some software installed on your Mac which is connecting/allowing your to connect to remote hosts (almost certainly not Fon hosts). It may possibly allowing remote hosts to connect to your machine. Is VPN software installed?
First of all check the information on those remote hosts:
Press cntrl and also left click on each of the hosts in the Finder. Navigate to Get Info. See if it says anything (I suspect it won't but it might give us some clues).
Check whether you have VNC installed:
Finder->Applications->(Real or Open or Tight)VNC.
Remove it unless you use VNC to connect to remote machines.
If it were me and my Mac, I'm afraid I would reinstall OS X (after backing up all my data from /Users onto a USB/Firewire drive), because something fishy is happening at this point and my machine is connecting to who knows what where.
=======================================================================================
Hope this helps. My opinion is that the machines will show up after you have changed the Wireless password. I suspect you have some Remote Viewing Software installed which is finding and allowing you to connect to remote Macs.

Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

Not necessarily. You could use the "Create Network" feature of your MBP's built-in AirPort card to provide an Ad-hoc wireless network for local wireless-capable computers to connect to.

Not able to see other computers on my home network

New to the Mac and do not know how to view other computers on my home network. I am able to see my Mac from other windows PCs on the network. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

See this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8203.html
You should then see your pcs listed in Finder's sidebar under the shared section.

Connect as... no longer works. Cannot connect to other computers on my home network.

I have a home network and it's been unchanged for years. Never had any issue with connecting to other computers, all of which are Macs running OS X. Now, if I click Connect As, nothing happens. Double-clicking the other computer in the Finder's sidebar or using Go To Server, etc. yields nothing. Even odder; the other machines no longer see me at all. No one has any Firewall on. File sharing is on for all machines. We're all on the same subnet and the same network, yet every other machine can connect to one another but not mine. Thoughts? Restarting has not helped. Thanks.

If you are getting the error message that the server won't allow any more users to connect, and to try again later, this seems to be a problem with AFP sharing in Lion.
The workaround for this so far is to go to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing and click on Options... On that window, turn OFF "Share files and folders using AFP" and turn ON "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" Click Done to go back to the sharing window and you should see a green dot followed by "Windows Sharing: On"
Give that a try.

Can see but not connect to other computers on my home network

New laptop running 8.1 replaces crashed one (also ran 8.1). After setup, can see the other computer on Home Network (uses Windows 7). That one can also "see" the new laptop. ( Both computers appear in the network folder). Neither
will connect to the other. Get "cannot access message, check name etc."
Both computers are in same Homegroup, tried all the tests mentioned in support . . .everything seems set properly. Ran through all the network and homegroup diagnostics fine. Tried connecting with both firewalls disabled.
Is there a solution I'm not aware of? Others seem to have similar if not identical problem.

Hi wrkeen,
Please share more details about this issue：
1. Provide the error messages for better analyzation.
2. What solution have you done to test the homegroup?
If we enable the network discovery, we will be able to find other computers or devices on the network.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Run the network troubleshooter to exclude the network issues. For more information, please refer to the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
2. Go through this path Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings and check if we correctly configure file sharing and other settings.
Please take a look at the following article about troubleshooting file sharing.

Mac can't see computers on my home network

bought a new imac yesterday. out of box it discovered my home network amnd all the computers that were connected. today, i cant see any of my connected compuers on my home network. I recall, Windows 7 saying a code had to be used for other computers to be allowed the connection but i dont know how to do that on the imac. any suggestions?

First please update your profile, you can find out how by clicking Profile Update. In order to see the other machines on your network you have to turn System Preferences - Sharing on to the preferences you want. Because I don't speak MS Windows you will need to look up the equivilant for Win 7.

Can't 'see" other computers on my home network

I just added a third Mac to my home network. We already had a G4 running OSX.2 and an iBook running OSX.4. I've now added a G4 running OSX.4, but the new computer doesn't "see" the other computers in the network list.
On the first G4, if I browse the network (by pressing apple-K) I see the other two computers, the iBook and the new G4.
On the iBook, if I open a finder window and click the "Network" icon, I get the other two computers listed.
But on the new G4, if I open a finder window and select the Network icon, I get three folders, "Applications", "Library", and "Users". And these three folders are apparently empty.
I DO have internet connection, so the connection is okay. And if I press apple-K to get a server list, and type in the IP address of one of the other two computers, I can access them that way. But why don't they show up on the Network list? What do I have configured wrong? Obviously, I CAN use the "apple-k" connect-to-servers-by-typing-in-the-IP-address method, but it's not as "nice" as having them just show up in the network window.
I'm sure it's something simple that I missed, and I'll probably feel like an idiot when someone points it out, but fire away folks!
G4 867Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

make sure you have your automounter running. Do this in a terminal to make sure:
ps aux|grep -i automount
If it is not running, you may have turned it off using some utility (bad idea). It's controlled by the NFS startup item and should be enabled so the OSX API can listen for traffic on port 548, which is the Apple Fileshare Protocol port of register.
if this is confusing, I can give more detail when I arrive at my home.

How can I get the host adresses of all computers in a local network

I want to learn that how can I do this with java?
I have a solution as iterating and checking with InetAdress.getHost("iteratedhost"), if no exception such host is reachable.
But I search for better solutions

MulticastSocket is a good option as I shortly
evaluated.
ThanksThis does not allow you to find all the IP address of
all computers on a network. It will enable you to
send information to any computer that is a member of
a particular IP Multicast Group.He doesn't seem to really need to know all the IP addresses. He just seems to want to "find" a server. Looks like MulticastSocket is kinda for that purpose, broadcasting a message out for someone to respond to. That response could be: "I'm the server you want - my IP address is x.y.z.a". Then he would use a normal Socket to bind to that guy. Maybe it's a good solution, maybe not. Just giving him a possible route. MulticastSocket must be good for something.

It's possible your wi-fi router needs to be reset, or the firmware needs to be updated.

Not Connecting to Wired Network and Forcing the loss of all Connections on the Home Network

Just got a new G550 laptop w/Win 7 OS. Tried to connect to wired router and got message "network cable not connected". Recycled laptop and router and came up with router connected to the laptop. Same message after search and identify steps finished. I then noticed I lost connection to the net/router with my other home networked units as well! Tried another cable, same results along with losing the entire home network connection. Disconnected the G550 from home network, via the cable, and the home network reconnected without any intervention. Tried another reboot directly connected to the cable modem, no go there either!
I also rebooted with the wireless search shutoff and got the same problems as on the wired attempt. Thought it might have been the NIC card so I exchanged the system back at the store. Sorry, same problem!!

I have a very similar problem... New Lenovo G550, running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Right from the start it causes my TrendNet TEW-432BRP router to crash every 10 seconds. I bought a new DLink WBR-1310 and experience the same problem. Connecting to either router through either a wireless connection or a LAN cable connection causes the router to crash every 10 seconds. The router crashes, reboots, establishes a connection with the laptop, communication starts and then the router crashes again.
I am looking for help.

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

1 of 4 computers on my home network connects to hu...

I have recently installed the BT home hub 2.0. I have 4 computers on my network. 3 of these run on windows XP, and 1 on windows Vista. The 3 XP computers all connect perfectly to the home hub, and can all access the internet. The Vista computer connects to the hub, and sees the other computers on the network. The other computers also see the viista computer, so I'm sure that the connection to the hub is OK, and file sharing and printer sharing works fine. The problem is that the Vista computer cannot get a connection to the internet.
When I run the network diagnose and repair function on te Vista computer, it tells me that the computer is connected to the internet, and there is no problem with the connection.
When I look in the home hub manager, it shows that the broadband connection from the router is fine. It also shows that the vista computer is connected.
However, whatever brouser I try to use I keep getting the message that it cannot display the web page. And when I do the diagnosis, it says there is no internet connection. I have also tried running updates on anti-virus software, and I get a message saying no update possible because there is no internet connection.
Has anybody experienced the same problem? I don't know whether it's a problem with Vista or with the BT hub, or some sort of compatibility problem between the 2. I have checked all the settings I can think of, and have run out of ideas.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sometimes Vista/Windows 7 can have problems with IPv6 connectivity
In Vista go to Control Panel->Network and Sharing and Click on Wireless networks....
A dialogue box called wireless network connection" will appear like this:-
AS you can see from mine, I have no internet acces on Ipv6....
If you are on Ipv6 instead of Ipv4 click "wireless prperties" and in the next dialogue box, uncheck the Ipv6 box but leave Ipv4 checked...I can't remember but you may have to restart the Vista machine..

Removing email accounts on one computer but not wanting to remove on all computers on the same network.

I have a MacPro desktop and a Macbook Pro. I would like to remove my apple email account from the Macbook Pro but do not want to take the chance of losing the same account on my MacPro desktop. They use the same internet connection and network. Can I just remove the apple email account on the Macbook Pro? Both computers are using OSX 10.9.5.

I'm assuming the account is IMAP. You can safely remove any IMAP account and all data will be left on the server for other devices.
When you check to disable, the account will simply gray out and no longer connect.
