1. DOS memory, which is what you're showing, isn't meaningful. However, yes, 128MB should be enough to run at least with a small network.
2. & 3. / not a clue. I haven't tried it... some random thoughts... Where did you get the version of NTop from? If it's the version from www.ntop.org (the demo), it runs fine for me on both 2K and 98SE - I just downloaded and installed and ran it on my wife's Windows 98 SE machine. Don't have ME to test... When you say: "Here is what I did. 1. install winpcap.dll 2. copy ntop.exe and libgdbm-2.dll in same directory. 3. execute " ntop -w 3000"" does this mean you are NOT using the demo package? Because I'm confused about your "copy" statement. The install shield in the demo does all that. If you copied NTop to some OTHER directory, then you have to copy EVERYTHING. Ntop looks for its files relative to it's execution directory and - if not found there - in specific, hardcoded places (and I don't know what those are for Windows). If it's not the demo, please download the demo, follow the directions EXACTLY re installing winpcap and let me know if THAT works... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jen-Lung Tseng Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 10:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Can't run ntop on Windows ME > 1.

Here is what I did. 1. install winpcap.dll 2. copy ntop.exe and libgdbm-2.dll in same directory. 3. execute " ntop -w 3000" Then I can see dnsCache.db is created in the same directory but size is zero. Do I have to include certain directory in PATH? Or I have to generate dnsCache.db in advance? If so, how can I prepare it? Thanks for your promptly response.
