Network log

[Neural Network]

I was wondering... I am using Windows XP and I know I can oben "compute management" and see who are using my shared folders and what they are using, but are these informations logged anywere or how can I do that?

Event Viewer?

doesn't show that degree of data, well not in all cases.

If you're running a service such as IIS and someone fails to authenticate then it will log it - likewise if you password your shares it will log any failed authentications, but for any real degree of granularity in these things you're almost asking for the features of a server OS or top-notch audit tool.

What are you trying to monitor?

Or you could just have "log successful object access" enabled ...

Remember to start the audit service though. Or it wont work.

We have a major LAN where I live, with nearly a thousand users, so I just want to know who has been accessing my shared documents and when. Not much really.

That's what I was talking about ... only I guess I should have provided the link as well.

For a lan I used to use something called Netwatcher Pro. Dunno if it'll work with xp though cos that was back in win95 days.
