Look into MAC filtering.

You can also log into your router and view recent activity there.

XP

1) Goto Start/Run

2) Type in "cmd"



Vista

1) Click the Start button

2) Type in "command"



Once you are in the command prompt:

1)Type in "ipconfig"

2) In your Internet browser type in "http://" followed by your default gateway (found in the command prompt)

***Example: http://192.168.1.1 (try clicking the link)

3) Login (search online for login info) Usually admin, password



There should be a section where it logs your activity. (If your router supports it)

Generally, no. I am assuming you have a router, that the 3 laptops are not literally all connected to your PC.



You have some control of Internet connectivity from your router, you can log onto your router from your PC with the Admin password and set up filters and blocks for specific machines. Read your router manual.



There is some network sniffing software that could theoretically 'watch' the traffic on the network, however I'm fairly sure that you don't have the technical experience to use these.

If you have a router which I'm assuming you do with laptops and 3 computers, you should be able to. You can get blocker software to see what hes been looking at and there should be an option in your router software to block internet access at certain times.

i have one way that costs nothing



first, you need your sons computer



next, go to start, then run, type in cmd or command, a dos window should pop up



type in ipconfig

a list will appear



i that list, find the ip adress

note it



then go to start menu, right click it, go to properties go to system properties



click on allow remote assistance or something

save it then leave



go to your computer go to start menu



go to accesories, goto remote desktop connection



and you should have your sons screen up



i haven't tested this myself, but try it
