You might want to look at the Squid proxy and the log analyzer Sarg.
http://www.squid-cache.org/
http://sarg.sourceforge.net/sarg.php
If you look at the sample report on the Sarg site, you might notice
the graph and clock icons between the num and userid fields. This
will show you a few stats about the user including what times the user
was on the Internet and how much bandwidth was consumed.
There seems to be a ton of log analyzers for Squid so if Sarg doesn't
seem to fit the bill, look at the Logfile Analysis link on the Squid
site.
This will require a Linux box and you'll also want to force everyone
to go through your proxy and deny ports 80 and 443 on your firewall
except to your proxy server. If you run Active Directory, changing
everyone's Internet Explorer connection settings is very simple.

A member of management has asked me to research available programs to log
internet usage (web surfing) on our corporate network.
We are running a Windows server with a mix of XP and 2K clients.
What have some of you used to provide this in a report that management can
use to show that a user is spending too much time on the internet?
I don't have a Linux box up and running, but if the right Linux based app is
suggested, I would consider going that route.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please try and keep this on topic, I've seen questions lke this before
degrade into a privacy violation, "big brother" type of debate.
