Network card vendors have 6-digit prefixes pre-pended to the network card MAC address. Do one of the following to obtain the MAC address for your network card:

 From a Windows NT Command Prompt, type the following:

ipconfig /all

-or- On a NetWare server, type the following:

config

-or- Look at the documentation that is included with the network card.

Approximately 650 vendor ID numbers are stored internally in Network Monitor. To add a new or unlisted vendor, you must modify the NETMON.INI file in the \Netmon\ directory. The following is a sample [Vendor_IDS] section in NETMON.INI: [Vendor_IDS]

VID0= 002211,  VID1= 002222,  NumberIDs = 2 NOTE: The length of  and  must be no greater than 6 characters.
