el_rob3 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Dear engraed96Can i do that in Win98SePlz tell me how in details??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_dkn Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 This can be done with a windows server / client domain setup but there are limitation if you have win98 clients. However it sound more like you need a microsoft pacaked called Internet Security and Acceeration Server (ISA Server). It's not free but it would do what your asking.

tarquel Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 And is there any software (hopefully free ware) so that I could see which users are logged on.Take a look at RealVNC & VNCcon:http://www.realvnc.com/ - RealVNC - Freewarehttp://vncon.chronetal.co.uk/index.php?page=main - VNcon - Freeware (notice the SP2 aspect tho)Domain is not possible engraed96 as jada855 states that:All machines are using windows xp home sp2You cannot log on to a domain using XP Home....(unless I missed something somewhere hehe)Regards,N.

chrno2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 @it_ybd I thought VNC just allows remote control between different types of computer pretty much like WinXP's build-in remote desktop(Terminal Service Lite)?@jada855 You can force the user to logon for internet access in your network by installing a proxy like squid (free), winroute,winproxy etc. Enable logging and all URLs visited by your client will be logged.

tarquel Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 @chrno2004:Whoops...I forgot to mention that, well, you can use the VNcon program to view a list of all the computers on the network and also see who's logged on (tho the see who's logged on part may only work on a domain).knight_dkn covered it really by saying the best solution would be to use a server, then you could see the list of users etc on that. The snag that if jada855 went down this route, in order to have his client machines connect/logon to the server, he'd have to upgrade them all to XP Professional (the most substantial difference between Home & Pro is this difference)Either way, I hope it helps Regards,N.
