Hi Bob,
The article referenced in the link has the web address for Ethereal:
http://www.ethereal.com
You have to first install the capture program, then the display
program,
binaries for both for Windows can be found via that site. Ethereal is
usually considered the 'Gold Standard' for Ethernet LAN sniffers, and it's
free!

Hi Bob,
Older versions of Windows have some NETBIOS limitations.
Here is a link to the archives that shows the problem. BTW - Ethereal really
helps debug these problems fast. This link is a detailed explanation from
the WRITELOG archives:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/WriteLog/2003-02/msg00569.html
Summary: Win95 maps all NETBIOS characters to UPPERCASE, and
truncates the name at a space character, while WinXP does not. You can have
two windows machines talking to each other through explorer (seeing the
folders, files, etc.) yet NETBIOS is not talking!
Also, if you are using DHCP, make sure that there is no "lmhosts"
file on either machine, or if you do, that the flags in that file do not
override specific host name resolution.
You can look at the NETBIOS table with a DOS command:
nbtstat -n
which lists the NETBIOS table on your local machine. nbtstat without
a switch will give you help for the nbtstat command (you can look at remote
machines, for example).
