folks, for the summer I need to monitor, not necessarily block traffic on my WRT54GL router.
This router is new to me and one feature that is extremely limited is the logging. It only gives addresses in the numerical format [Outgoing log] and does not carry much history, no timestamp, no log-full-send function. My older cheaper netgear did a much better job of this and frankly I miss that function.

I need a logger that will simply record/store/fwd ALL outgoing addresses in their www format [i.e. http://forums.techguy.org/newthread.php"]

Anyone got a recommendation??

This might not be the solution to your problem, but I thought I would put in my 10 cents. If you want to get inventive, one of the things you can do would be to set up a machine and put that machines address into the DMZ on the router. This would basically expose the entire machine to the Internet. Then you can install a robust software firewall on the machine that has great logging features such as Symantec Endpoint Protection.....and basically monitor all the hits you receive on the machine.

I haven't specifically checked out the logging capabilities, and I'm not sure how the forum feels about 3rd part firmware; but DD-WRT would be something you might look into. I use it on my home Linksys router and it works fine. However, like I said, I haven't checked out the logging features on it. Might be worth looking into anyway.

I think this will send me back to netgear. i had no idea the logging was so lame on Linksys.
and I'm amazed that on an open router like this such 3rd party applet not available, apparently.
I looked at the Tomato package for this router but if there is any logging there, they don't mention it.

I have used LinkLogger: http://www.linklogger.com/ with my Netgear router.

But I grew tired of seeing all of the probes and hack attempts, so I no longer use it.
