I apologize if this is posted to the wrong group. We're having a WINS
replication problem. As part of my diagnosis, I tried to install the WINS.DLL
parser for Netmon from the Windows 2003 resource kit tools package as
indicated here:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techref/en-us/wins_remarks.asp

However, the DLL appears to do nothing. I am able to load additional parsers
without difficulty. Is there a newer version of this file that I should be
using? I am running NetMon on a Windows 2003 platform; I have also tried
NetMon 2.1 (full) from the SMS 2003 installation CD. I have not tried running
NetMon on a Windows 2000 platform but can do so if necessary; however, it
seems that this should work, since the WINS.DLL file is part of the 2003
resource kit!

This is the directory information for the file:

04/18/2003 04:55 PM 30,152 wins.dll

Thanks in advance for any suggestions-
