Computer Tracking/ Control

[Sheldon]

I hope you all are well.

Is there anyway to track and control a computer on my wireless network?
It is a windows laptop running XP. Where i have another windows box, and 2 Mac's(My Precious!). I want to be able to limit or add password to net activity and monitor what sites are visited by the user on the laptop? Possible?


Such like if you go to a telecom(New Zealand service provider) wireless hotspot at a McDonalds or Starbucks that requires you to log in via a web browser window, tracks the locations and time.

Running a firewall or proxy on the wifi router or main router?

I have 2 apple airport express wifi routers and a dlink 4port router and a dlink 8 port hub.




Thanks

If you mean physically watch, and then take control of keyboard and mouse when needed, then yes. Check out RealVNC (http://www.RealVNC.org) -- it's platform indepentant so you shouldn't have any problems getting it to run on Apple OS's.

Hope this is helpful.
