Hi, Hope you can help. A mate of mine has been suspended from work for excessive internet use. He has just been provided with a list of numbers for sites visited and number of hits etc. Non of the site are of a ****ographic nature. The majority of sites are advertisments but the company is making a big deal out of number of hits etc. Could anybody answer me the following please : 1) What is classed as a session? 2) Sites visited: what does a proxy server class as a site 3) Hits: what is classed as a hit? 4) What does a proxy server class as a hit? 5) Is this a reliable way of measuring a users usage? 6) What are Page view Impressions & What would a firewall count as a Page View Impressions. Any help would be most appreciated. Starman

Nope. Totally wrong. I don't work for a video game company and my name does not start with ST. The action was started by my mates line manager not the IT dept. There is no Acceptable use policy. Is this something that is signed by an employee? Previous information leads me to believe that Hits are not accurate as a hit is registered for everything that is needed to be downloaded for a particular page i.e. htmls, asp, gif, jpegs etc. Can anyone shed any further light on it. BTW - my m8 has just been sacked for it. Starman.
