Can a router track what pages you visit?

[quote]depends on the level of logging that has been enabled on the router.\n\nthe short answer is yes. Remember that a router operates at layer 3 of the OSI model and therefore has to inspect every single packet that passes through it.\n\nDepending on who and how the system was set up and the level of logging that was enabled they can see everything you do.\n[/quote]\n\nI'm afraid your answer is not totally correct. Let's take a look at what Router can do at Layer 3 (OSI). At this layer, router only can inspect the IP Header of the packet, and nothing more. While the content of the packet is at Layer 7. Below is a simple sample of OSI 7 layer model\n\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 7    |  Data is processed in this layer, include content of the webpage, URL,...\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 6    |  Data will be converted to an appropriate format, depend on which protocol, application you use at Layer 7. In case of this question, your Data will be sent under HTTP protocol.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 5    |  This layer handle the connections between your computer and all others computer\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 4    |  Base on type of service, your data will use TCP or UDP. This layer will control data transportation from your computer to another computer.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 3    |  Network Layer, that's what we are talking about. This layer will find the path from your computer to destination host. This layer don't know what is inside the packet.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 2    |  This layer will converted your packet into frame.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 1    |  Your data will be transformed into binary code, and send over Physical media. \n\nNormally, a router can not inspect what is inside the packet. Only Application firewall can do that. But nowadays, base on market needs, most vendor produce a Router which have built-in firewall. And your data can be inspect by that kind of Router. This kind of Router often uses for medium to big company, and it's so pricy, not cheap.\n\nSo the answer here is "Your data could be inspect by the Router, but not all the Router, check Router specification for sure"

If you log into your router, you can look at the lan configuration and see what computers are using the network, but if you are using WEP encryption, it should not be an issue anyway.

Certain programs such as Net Nanny and Cybersitter allow you to track what people view on the Web. Some of those programs will even categorize visits based on keywords and the like; for example, tell you if a given site contained the words "Satan" or "sex" or "drugs" or whatever.\n\nI'd look into one of those such programs.

you can go to www.dnsstuff.com and check it in ip who is section. pretty neat/http://www.urgentclick.com/address_trace.php\nyou can also download the visual traceroute\nfrom visualroute.visualware.com

look on the internet for "traceroute"\nit allows you to trace all the conncetion your computer makes to another computer\nping means that you can test to see whether a computer is on the internet or not.

You canot go to and check cookies or history at every client PC. You have to setup you network as below:\nInternet -> DSL modem -> Hub or Switch -> Firewall PC (with ISP, or...) -> Client PCs\nSo that, every client PC connects to internet through the Firewall PC. And you can use logbook in ISP to find out which location people go

You can go to the History tab on your browser.  i am going to assume that you have Internet Explorer, so if you look at the toolbar on your browser you should see an icon that looks like a clock with an arrow pointing down on the one side.  This is your history button.  Once you click history you can sort by day... then by site.  You will have a list of all the visited websites that day.\n\nIf you would like to view the cookies from each website, then you would go into your cookies folder... located in my documents>Temporary Internet Files>Cookies.\n\nHappy Snooping!

I don't think so, but if you really want to, you can hit Tools, Internet options in internet exploreer. There ,click on settings, under temporary internet files, and then view files.There you might find something to help you determine the sites adress (baner, etc...) or the site itself.

Web server can log your IP, and then write to your provider and ask MAC of IP address by speceifing date and time of connection. I think provider can log all sessions.

Normally there should be a log from the webserver with all visited addresses and ip numbers. But then again, who is going to monitor that? My guess is that this is used in 99% of all cases just to look someting up when needed, not to monitor.\n\nIf you use windows, all visited url's are also stored (apart from your browser history) in a file called index.dat, which is normally not visible and cannot be removed/changed with normal Windows funtionality. There are solutions for that (e.g. stinger116).

Get a good sniffer or packet analyzer. \n\nIt will allow you to monitor what traffic is being sent across your network.  You can also open the packets to see where they headed and where they are from and depending on your knowledge the content of the packet.

Yes, login to the router.  There should be section that shows the IP addresses of connected computers.  Although, if I remember correctly this only works when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which auto-assigns computers connecting to the network an IP address.

Your IP address, what type of browser you're using, sometimes your operating system, and where you have gone on that website, and sometimes where you came from.

you can look for ip address and thus by area it will be helpful to identify  the nearest one..you suspect

While I cannot say this with 100% accuracy, I will say no.  I believe that your internet connection itself is not confidential.  There are tools such as a packet sniff that can reveal what your activity has been and where you are.  Also, if you recall, Ask Jeeves used to show what other people were searching.

Do you mean a content filter?  I don't think a router will help other than to perhaps mask who you are ... but, when they find the router they find you.

You can look in the IIS logs, which are typically located under c:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;LogFiles\n\nOf course, unless you have extended logging turned on, you'd have to match up IP address of the user, since it would not strictly speaking show the page hits user by user.
