logging wireless users


I'd like to share my wireless connection with my neighbors. I realize their are risks, so I want to be able to make a log of the users and what they do online so that I can decide after some time if I should continue to leave my wireless connection unsecured.

So, how would my pc generate info about who's been online, where the user came from, and what the user's done?

Are you using a stand alone router(what kind) or a slackbox running as a router?

I'm using a Westell Wireless router-standalone. If I need to set up a slackbox running a router to log user activity, I could do that to.

My standalone router logs connections. You should check it. To check what they are visiting you could try ettercap... there are other packet sniffers you might look into.

This router does log connections, too-any idea where the router logs them?
