If you have a version of "HP-UX Internet Express" CD for HP-UX 11.11, check it: the later versions of Internet Express contain a pre-packaged version of Ethereal/Wireshark that is easy to install using swinstall.

(Ethereal changed its name to Wireshark because of trademark issues.)

If that is not available, see HP-UX Porting Archive:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gtk/Applications/wireshark-1.1.1/

Note that the Porting Archive version has a *huge* list of run-time dependencies which you must install before Wireshark can run.

It might be easier to use nettl or tcpdump to capture network traces and move the dump files to a Linux or Windows workstation. The Linux/Windows versions of Wireshark are *much* easier to install than the Porting Archive version.
