We have a Sonic Wall Pro firewall and a Cisco AT&T manage router conecting us to a T1.
We have a NT 4.0 server with win98 client network. Is there a way that I can see which client IP's are surfing the web and which IP'S they are surfing at ?

Their SuperScout system is a great toll for what you want to do. The site blocking and management reporting function are fantastic. You can download a trialware version for evaluation.

Your firewall can also (likely) dump activity onto a SYSLOG server. There are 3rd party SYSLOG server services available for NT. You will also need some way of "analysing" these data. I like WebTrends Firewall, which ships with a SYSLOG service.

A better approach is to setup a Proxy inside your firewall. MS Proxy v2 is surprisingly good for this. WebTrends as an analysis tool, again. Point all of your browsers to the proxy, and block all but the proxy server from making outbound connections at the firewall so as to force your users to use the proxy.
