how can you hook up a LAN(local area network) so that you can monitor what the kids are doing?
I want to set up a local are network so that i am the server. I also want a program that lets me monitor what the kids are doing on the network without looking over their shoulders.
Well setting up a network is fairly easy. If you really want it setup so that your machine is the "SERVER" (not needed by the way to do what you want) you will need server software. Microsoft now has a "Home Server" which might work

However, it really is just a fancy FILE server..
or you can use Linux to do that same job, but, it is more difficult to learn and setup

All that being said.. you really can just setup a home Proxy Server which will become the total home filter system.

is a good place to start - still takes setup and understanding.
Why not just use a good software package and let it do the work
This is one of the best ones I have ever seen, and its very low priced for what it does. SafeEyes! Its not free but it works very well which beats FREE!
