Log

Figure 9-12

The Log tab, shown in Figure 9-12, provides you with a log of all incoming and outgoing URLs or IP addresses for your Internet connection.

To access activity logs, select the Enable option next to Access Log. This func- tion can be disabled by clicking the Disable radio button.

With logging enabled, you can choose to view temporary logs or have a per- manent record, using the Logviewer software. Temporary logs can be accessed from the Log screen by clicking either the Incoming Access Log or Outgoing Access Log button. The Incoming Access Log gives you a log of all the incom- ing Internet traffic while the Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLs and IP addresses of Internet sites that users on your network have accessed.

For a permanent record of these logs, Logviewer software must be used. This software is downloadable from the Linksys website, www.linksys.com. The Logviewer saves all incoming and outgoing activity as a permanent file on your PC’s hard drive. In the Send Log to field, enter the fixed IP address of the PC running the Logviewer software. The Router will now send updated logs to that PC.
