I have a guest staying in my house for a couple of days. They will have access to my wifi.
I would like to know if I can contact my internet provider (comcast/Xfinity) and get the history (even if deleted) for my wifi network? Or if I can do this on my computer?

No! I have seen enough of that from them in my life!;] I got over getting it mailed to my e mail long ago.
Their gay porn doesn't bother me it's the animal and other wired stuff.
I've been their friend long enough and I know what their likes are. And some of it could get me in trouble with my wife... or even the law? They are visiting and are jumping from couch to couch. Their a great person but even if I ask them not to they will. I just want to be sure if it shows up on my history I can say "see it came from this comp that was owned by a friend. not our home comps."
This was brought to my attention by the last person whose house they stayed at. Mutual friends who are Ironically lesbian actually, and they just gave me a heads up they found tons of animal porn and even some kiddy stuff. I'm kind of used to this person doing this when we were younger and single. Now that I have a house and a lot more to worry about. I already braced the little lady for the fact that he will look at animal porn on his laptop and we can't stop it. But when she heard about the kiddy stuff she rightfully said talk to him tell him its just 1 1/2 day. He will survive. Ill end up calling com cast tomorrow if no one here can help me.

I think you should be looking for a way to help your friend. Animal porn -- well, I guess different strokes. But kiddy stuff. He should be reporting that, not looking at it. I think that's a serious issue. And yes, it can get you into trouble with the law. I don't consider that much of a friend if he can't take that into consideration while he's at your house!

What about some sort of parental controls? Have you looked into that? I'll admit, I don't know how to block things. But I know there must be a way since my school used to block all sorts of stuff. It's at least something worth looking into

From what I know, all but two states in the USA hold the owner of the Internet connection legally responsible for what is done with the connection. So in this case, if your friend does look at underage porn, then there is a good chance if it is traced back to your connection, you will be legally responsible for it.

So my vote is to just not let them on your network.
