Hi there,
i run untangle at home and love it, I would like to use a cafe like login so the reports show which user is the biggest user, not by ip.

I am still a little green at untangle, so can some one point me in the right direction.

I would like a cafe style system so i can limit the kids usage or just monitor it all. at the moment there are two laptops and one xbox 360( grrrr The biggest user) my laptop is used mainly by me and sometimes by my wife.
the other laptop is used by the two kids and my wife. and the xbox is used mainly by one( not me ).

I started to looking into this and found active directory and the local directory( I think this is the one i need). Then found i need the remote access portal.
I found out how to use my policy manager to enable the users, but i can't seem to figure out the login side of things or the portal?? home page.??

I think it would be great if i could give each user a set amount of usage per month, and if the go over it then TOUGH! this can be monitored by me and manualy cut of or automaticly cuts that user off.

my network is:
net, untangle in router mode, switch, computers( xp x 2 and xbox 360 grrr)

Do i need more hardware with local directory? (i know i do with active directory)

I think this makes sense, its sunday night and we had a bbq and drinks.
