Configuring Netmon for DirectPlay

If you have a Windows 2000 Server system, Netmon is already installed. For Windows 2000 Professional, you must purchase a copy of Systems Management Server (SMS). See the Netmon documentation for a general discussion of how to use Netmon. To configure Netmon to handle Microsoft® DirectPlay® traffic:

  1. Copy Dp8parser.dll to the appropriate folder. The Netmon root folder is normally installed in the \Winnt\System32 folder. If you have installed SMS, the root folder will be called NetMonFull. For Windows 2000 Server, the root folder will be called NetMon. Depending on which version of Netmon you are using, copy the parser DLL to either the ...\NetMonFull\Parsers, or ...\NetMon\parsers folder.
  2. Start Netmon
  3. Set the adapter to capture from (Capture|Networks...|Local Computer). Be sure to choose the adapter with the "Dial-up Connection" property set to FALSE.

You are now ready to start capturing traffic.
