Network monitor object in performance monitor

[sajjad rizvi_1]

Hi

I have a windows 2000 HP-Compaq Server (Proliant ML530) which I have

installed the Windows 2k windows component: Network monitor. However I still cannot see the Network Interface object in performance monitor.

The NIC is a NC7770.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is ?

Regards

Check that perfnet object (perfnet.dll) is enabled (you can use Exctrlst.exe for checking)

I've checked exctrlst.exe and perfnet.dll is running on that server.

But I cannot see it in performance monitor

Sorry, my mistake, you need to enable TCPIP (perfctrs.dll) object with Exctrlst.exe

How do you do that ? Forgive me for asking a stupid question but I have read the readme with that tool (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/exctrlst-o.asp) and it doesn't show how to install the counters/object.

Aaah, just had another look ... you check the Check box right ?

Yes, select "Performance Counters Enabled" and restart the service.

again forgive my stupidity, which service do I need to reset ?

[Igor Karasik · Accepted solution]

I think you don't need to restart any service, just check checkbox "TCPIP (perfctrs.dll)" and it must work (i test it now on windows 2000 server)

The solutions thanks to Igor Karasik on the HP Forums. I needed to use exctrlst.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/exctrlst-o.asp) to enable the counter.
