Monitoring my wireless network from main PC??

Does anyone know if there is software that will allow me to monitor all the
traffic on my wireless network? I am running a Netgear DG834G into a D-Link
DWL-1000AP+ access point. There are three computers here, all connected via
the DWL-1000AP+ and mine is hardwired using a CAT5 cable from the DG834G. I
would like to see what sites my kids are visiting, by somehow monitoring the
traffic.... Can this be done and if so, what software is needed to do it?
I'm using Windows XP Pro on all the machines.

Thanks
Tom

You can only do this if the traffic routes through one of the machines.
Windows Proxy Server does this and I'm sure there's plenty of
freeware/OSS apps to do this too.

If you're not on somebody's shit list, you're not doing anything
worthwhile.

You could try running your own WWW Proxy and checking the access logs on
that to see whos doing what
