If what you want is to monitor internet requests, the best place to do 
so is the gateway of your network. If you don't have access to the 
gateway, you can always set your server as the gateway for your machines 
and your server will need to redirect the IP flux to the real gateway. 
That way, you don't need anything on the client side. On the server, 
just look at the fluxes toward the internet and you can do wathever you 
want with it. After that, as I don't know the windows implementation of 
a gateway, I can't help you ...
