Let me start over, please.
I downloaded the source and followed the detailed instructions. The compile completed without error. However, when I try to run ntop.exe, I get this error message: ntop.exe - Unable to locate DLL. The dynamic link library packet could not be found in the specified path." I think it's quite odd that ntop is looking for "packet" and not "packet.dll."
So I found packet.dll in c:\winnt\system32 and ran this command: "cd c:\winnt\system32\ & copy packet.dll packet". Now I can run ntop without any problems at all. But I still don't know why ntop is looking for "packet" and not for "packet.dll" as it should.

Hmm,
I think I know what's wrong.
Apps running on Windows 2000 look for DLLs in 1) their
working directory, and if it's not there they look in
2) the directories in your PATH environment variable.
I think that, for some strange reason, your PATH does
not contain your Windows folders. For comparison, my
PATH environment variable looks like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin;C:\Arquivos
de programas\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\BINN;c:\mingw\bin;c:\msys\1.0\bin
I've had problems with Windows XP boxes in the past
because their PATH environment variable didn't contain
C:\WINDOWS and friends. ntop is looking for
packet.dll, not finding it, and (rightfully so)
complaining. So you make the necessary DLL available,
and presto, it works.
What's your PATH like? Regards,
Georger
