Then you'll have to switch to some flavor of UNIX (free, e.g.  Linux or
{Free,Net,Open}BSD, or commercial), on a machine that has the UCD or CMU
SNMP libraries installed, and build and run Ethereal there.

There *are* binaries for the UCD SNMP library (or, as it's now called,
the NET-SNMP library) for Windows, but, to get Ethereal to use them,
you'll have to recompile Ethereal, which would be difficult to do
without a compiler....
