You need a router to actually get the internet into her bedroom.

If she has wireless in her laptop (she probably has) then you can buy a wireless router.

You can then plug your PC into the router using a wire, and your daughter can connect to the internet wirelessly.

As for checking what sites she looks at, that is another matter all togther. There are programs out their that control this sort of thing, but I have never used any.

Try searcinhg the web or maybe look at programs like NetNanny.
