Need help with Apple airport question

by cookie7746 - 4/17/06 6:43 AM

I need an apple expert to help me with this question:

If I have an apple airport in my apartment - and two people are using it to connect to the internet - can one person see or access info about what the other is browsing?

I think my roomate can see what I'm doing. I'm also curious if I can see what he is doing online. Is there an application that allows for this? thx...

If I enable SMNP or SYSLOG or reporting, what I could get are the addresses or websites the users are browsing. Since SYSLOG and such is documented on the web, I won't duplicate that information here.

Do you mean that you think that the other person can see what you are actually doing on a web site in real time or that you think the other person can find out where you have been, at a later time?

Are both these machines, Mac's?
