Installing Network Monitor on an NT Workstation
Installing Netmon on an NT workstation requires a couple of steps. The following are instructions for
installing Netmon V4.00.349, which comes with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, on Microsoft Windows NT
Workstation 4.0. The process should be similar for other versions of Windows NT version of Netmon. You will
need both the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Install CD and the Workstation 4.0 Install CD.
Initially you will need to install Network Monitor Tools and Agent
on the NT Server to do this:
-
Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel ->
Network -> Services -> Add.
-
Select the Network Monitor Tools and Agent and click on OK.
-
Click on OK on the Network Control Panel.
-
Insert the Windows NT Server 4.0 install CD when prompted.
At this point, the Netmon files should exist in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon\*.*.
Two subdirectories exist as well: parsers\, which contains the necessary DLLs
for parsing the Netmon packet dump, and captures\.
To install the Netmon tools on an NT Workstation, you will first need to install the
Network Monitor Agent from the Workstation install CD.
-
Go to Start -> Settings ->
Control Panel -> Network ->
Services -> Add.
-
Select the Network Monitor Agent, click on
OK.
-
Click on OK in the Network Control Panel.
-
Insert the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 install CD when prompted.
Now copy the files from the NT Server in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon
to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon on the workstation and set permissions
as you deem appropriate for your site. You will need administrative rights on the NT box to run Netmon.
