if you go to majorgeeks website, they have programs that log every keystroke(keyloggers) that is performed on the pc. it runs almost secretly in the background and providing the kids aint pc experts(most are nowadays(little gits)). they will be unaware it's happening. i don't know if it works through networking but it's an option. hope this helps a bit. after all, kids safety online is SO SO important nowadays!!

She'll need a wireless router to connect her modem through. And for the laptop, she'll need a wireless PCMCIA card or wireless USB adapter, preferably from the same manufacturer as the router. If it's a recent laptop it may already have an inbuilt wireless card in it.

there are tons of parental software out there (usually around $30) that will let you block and/or view what your child is doing while you are gone.

Keep the PC in the family room where you can watch what they are doing.  The browser history will show you where they have been, but it won't show you what conversations they may be having in chat rooms.

There are a variety of programs out there.  Everything from NetNanny or Cybersitter to the expensive WebSense to other such things.  Depends on how much you want to spend.  You can also make sure that your router is logging Internet traffic to see where they are going.

I'll say what everyone else is saying. Your library has a commercial wireless network system which has higher power transmitters. Your home network isn't designed for commercial use so they didn't make it with a very high power transmitter. If you want her to be able to pick it up from her house you can get a range extender which will give your wireless network a larger range. Make sure your wireless network is secure especially if you boost the range which will make it available to the neighborhood unless you secure it.

There are ways to do it. \nI can check everything my husband does online, even if he cleans the cache and deletes cookies. \nThere are also programs out there to monitor everything a person does on the computer, even if it's not online. \nParents are starting to use those programs to monitor their kids.

Yes they can ..most wireless routers keep log of all the traffic than passes through it .... they have a facility of even mailing the stuff to specific mail addresses ... By the way what do you do on the net that scares you ....

I would recommend cyberpatrol (link below).  They offer a 14 day trial.  It has features such as time restrictions (both time of day and number of minutes/hours a day using the internet).  It pre-set security based on age ranges (child, pre-teen, teen, mature teen), that can be customized.  It will also allow you to track what websites were visited and more importantly which ones they tried to visit (but were denied).  It also monitors instant messaging and chat software.  I believe the cost is $30.00 but it's well worth it when it comes to instant messaging.  It also has different profiles (multple kids or one for kids and one for the parents).\n\nMy feeling is, I trust my kids but would like to occasionally check to make sure they are using good judgement.  Plus I wanted to limited the amount of time they were spending on the internet.

Access your wireless router and you should have an option to look at the DHCP Client list.  It will tell you how many computers and what the computer names are that are connected to your network.  If any computers are not yours then someone is connected to your network.  As for who they are in particular...unfortunelty unless they have files shared that give away their name or who they are there is no way to tell.

Buy a Router (get a decent one for less then 50 bucks). set it up they cant tell if you are using it unless they physically see it. another words if they come out to work on anything disconnect it.

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.

If you are talking about your personal connection at home, you dont scramble it as such... you need to encrypt the signals using the WEP encryption feature (if your router supports it).
