This article describes how to install the Microsoft Network Monitor tool (NetMon) on a computer that is running Windows 95 or Windows 98.
Network Monitor is available on the following Microsoft BackOffice CD-ROMs:
| • | BackOffice version 2.5 on CD-ROM 4, in the SMS12\NMext\Disk1 folder. |
| • | BackOffice version 4.0 on CD-ROM 5, in the SMS\NMext\Disk1 folder. |
| • | BackOffice version 4.0 on CD-ROM 6, in the SMS20\NMEXT\I386 folder |
NOTE:These locations will correspond to where they are found on the respective versions of SMS.
To install Network Monitor, run the Setup program from one of the following locations:
| • | From the Disk1 folder where Netmon.zip was expanded. |
| • | From disk 1 of the three Network Monitor Setup disks. |
| • | From the Disk1 folder in the locations mentioned above on the Back Office CD-ROM. |
After the Setup program finishes, you are prompted to install the supporting Network Monitor drivers. To do this:
| 1. | Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network. (This step is necessary only if the Network Properties dialog box is not displayed at the end of Network Monitor Setup). |
| 2. | Click Add, double-click Protocol, and then click Have Disk. |
| 3. | Click Browse. |
| 4. | Browse to the following folder (depending on your operating system version):
| • |

|
| 5. | Click OK, and then restart the computer when you are prompted. |
To ensure proper parsing of Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) packets:
| 1. | Using a standard text editor (such as Notepad), edit the Tcpip.ini file located in the Parsers folder in which Network Monitor is installed. The default location is C:\Nm\Parsers. |
| 2. | Locate the [TCP_HandoffSet] section. |
| 3. | Locate the line containing the text 5678 = PPTP. Change this to 1723 = PPTP. |
| 4. | Save the file, and then quit Notepad. |
