Network Monitor Driver Protocol (or equivalent) for Windows 98, etc

["James McFadden" <jamesdpmcfadden () hotmail com>]

Hello.
My name is James McFadden and i am a Honours Degree student studying 
computing at the Letterkenny Institute of Technology in Ireland. I have to 
do a study on port scanning as part of my network security assignment. this 
will involve downloading port scanning software (Nmap) from the web onto my 
PC at home. the kind of computer that i have is an IBM Aptiva computer. this 
computer is an 8 year old computer that i bought from my aunt 3.5 years ago 
and runs on Windows 98.
i have downloaded both the latest stable release self-installer 
nmap-4.20-setup.exe and the latest stable command-line zip file 
nmap-4.20-win32.zip onto my PC. all i have to do now is to get one of these 
installed and running on my PC. i won't bother installing and using Cygwin 
on my PC. the only questions that remain are these: do i need to install 
Network Monitor Driver Protocol (or equivalent) for Windows 98 on my machine 
if i have to start troubleshooting? i have also downloaded INSTMSIA.EXE, 
InstMsiW.exe and WinPcap (a WinPcap that will suitable for Win98) onto my 
PC. How can i open the Event Viewer on a Win98 machine?
i also have two last question that needs to be answered. what is the 
difference between the program nmap-4.20-setup.exe and the programs that are 
contained in nmap-4.20-win32.zip (i haven't even installed the programs on 
my PC never mind run them)? what version of Nmapwin do i use on a Win98 PC 
and what website do i download it from?
thank you very much for your assistance.
