A network appliance that monitors multimedia content requested by at least one networked computer coupled to a local area network and the Internet. The appliance includes a database, at least one interface processing packetized data encapsulating TCP/IP packet data generated by the network computer(s) and communicated over the local area network, routing logic for the TCP/IP packet data, and processing means processing the TCP/IP packet data to identify whether it specifies a URL representing at least one particular type of multimedia content, and if so, adds the specified URL and an associated date and time to the database. It can include a first mechanism monitoring physical connections/disconnections to the local area network over time, and a second mechanism monitoring Internet connectivity over time. It can also provide access to information stored in the database and/or provide upload of stored information to a remote system for remote access to such information.
