The current released version of Ethereal doesn't, as far as I know,
compile and work on Win32 systems, at least when compiled with
Microsoft's C compiler etc.; it *might* work if you built it with
CygWin:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
if that works on NT 5.0^H^H^H^H^H^HW2K.
You'd need the Win32 port of GTK+ and GLib:
http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/
or, in the Western hemisphere, a mirror at
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
In order to *capture* packets, you'd need a port of libpcap to Win32 -
it includes drivers, which are required, and the NT drivers *might*
work:

If you grab the current version by anonymous CVS, it's probably more
likely to work, and to compile with Microsoft's C compiler, although
Gilbert (who's doing the port) said in his last checkin that it doesn't
yet correctly read files (and he's using NT 4.0; hopefully 5.0 won't
manage to break it).
