Two different monitors for two different environments ----------------------------------------------------- EtherTeam 16i NetBIOS Monitor (ETHMON.EXE) runs on top of NetBIOS stack. It uses NetBIOS Adapter Status calls to gather information from nodes. Please note that counters shown are kept by the protocol stack, not eg the network adapter driver. The reliability of the counters depends on how well the protocol stack was implemented. EtherTeam 16i NetWare Monitor (ETHMONW.EXE) runs on top of IPX stack. It uses IPX configuration requests to get information from nodes. System requirements ------------------- 1) EtherTeam 16i NetBIOS Monitor You need a NetBIOS interface. The underlying protocol can be eg NetBEUI or TCP/IP. 2) EtherTeam 16i NetWare Monitor Your system must run IPX/SPX with NetWare support for Windows. This monitor has been developed and tested using following versions (these are needed to run ETHMONW.EXE). IPX/SPX 3.1 Shell 3.26 NWWRKSTN.DLL 1.2.2 NWCONN.DLL 1.2.2 NWIPXSPX.DLL 1.3.0 NWBIND.DLL 1.2.2 If ETHMONW.EXE is run in a system with other versions, it may not work properly. The shell should not be older than version 3.26. The needed Windows software is eg provided through CompuServe. WINUP6.ZIP/binary which was used during development of ETHMONW.EXE contains selected Windows client files from the NetWare Workstation Kit for DOS/Windows v2.0.
