IP Tracking

Hi,

I have heard there is IP tracking software that you can
put on the network to watch where users are going and
doing on the internet. I don't remember any of the
software titles that let me do is. Can you guys list a
few for me. Any free ones on the net that I can try?

I heard that in your firewall you can log IP activity but
don't know how to do this. We have a cisco Pix firewall
attached to internet.

Thanks,

Pete

I use the Kiwi Syslog Daemon to track IP activity in my PIX. It is free and runs
on Windows. You will need to enable trap logging in the PIX and log warnings to
see what the access lists are doing. Your original question seems to point to a
product like Websense (the most expensive, this is the cadillac of surf control
products). Based on your second post to this group I believe Microsoft SBS would
be the best for you. It includes Exchange and I believe the Microsoft
firewall/proxy/surf control product. You may want to look into that.

Hi Mike,

That is exactly what we have is SBS prem 2003 but I am
nervous about installing ISA because from what I heard
when first installed it shuts down all port activity to
outside world and needs to be configured to have the
necessary ports reopened. Also on MS SBS 2003 newsgroup,
the help you get there is terrible. Nothing compared to
the help you get here. Totally disgusted with SBS 2003
newsgroup help. > If I could get better help than I
would install ISA for I hear its pretty good.

If you have SBS then you want to use ISA for this. There are a number
of SBS groups and the help is usually quite good, so I'm not sure what
issue you've had with that. There is also an ISA group, but there are
idiosyncracies to running ISA on SBS that the SBS folks are best
prepared to explain.

It's not rocket science, but you do need to configure it.

This group looks pretty good, is this the one you are unhappy with?
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

Since SBS is a multi product deal you can also find help in
ISA/AD/DNS/Exchange/Networking groups.

See these for the help you need on ISA

ISA is a good way to go. I agree with Jeff's comments. ISA can do some
"reporting" but isn't meant to report on every little "jot & tittle" that
the users do,...that requires special software designed and dedicated for
that purpose. SurfControl (www.surfcontrol.com) would be one example.


BTW - Jeff!,..did I just talk to you at the VMP Summit, or was that some
other Jeff? I ran accros so many people I can keep tham all straight.
