Hi,
I bought from a local aucion a Network general sniffer ethernet card, manuals and disks. This is a fascinating product (not to mention the puns of the Sniffer name).
Using a 386 motherboard and DOS6.2 I've so far managed to install the version 4 of the software and I can launch the network monitor. While that is already cool, I would be most interested in the network analyzer part which would be more like Wireshark of today. Unfortunately the network analyzer compains about invalid configuration file and cannot be launched. The config file is a binary file so I can't really tell if it's corrupted on the disks or not.
The earlier version 3 does not launch as it appears to have some sort of hardware copy protection (by network MAC) and won't run.
I posted some pictures and some more in here:
I've dumped the disks and will be uploading them (somewhere).
Anyone have copies of the installer (later versions, as they seem to be non-hardware coupled)?
