One of the prime areas of concern for any organization is to enhance the
productivity of employees. One way to achieve this is by keeping a tab on their
Internet activities. LanWatchDog Enterprise 3.0 is a Windows (NT/2K/XP/2003)
compatible software which you can use to monitor and control Web surfing, Web
postings, chat, file transfer and bandwidth usage by all systems on your
network. It should be installed on your Internet gateway or a proxy server, so
that it can intercept incoming and outgoing traffic. WinPcap driver is a
prerequisite to run LanWatchDog. WinPcap version 3.1 comes packed with this
solution. LanWatchDog has a Web-based interface where you can configure your
entire Web usage policy.
To start off, you need to select the network adapter that connects the
monitoring system to the network. Choose the IP/MAC addresses of the systems you
wish to control. You can then browse through a detailed analysis of Internet
usage of these PCs and set policies to restrict unwanted use.
