Ethereal doesn't support SNMP-over-TCP (it supports SMUX-over-TCP), just
over UDP (it also supports SNMP-over-Ethernet and over IPX, as well as
ILMI, which is sort of SNMP-over-ATM-AAL5).
Do you mean SNMP-over-TCP, or over UDP?
Compiled ethereal applications exist for various OSes running on PCs.
Binary packages we know about are listed at
http://www.ethereal.com/download.html#binaries
and the OSes in question are:
Debian GNU/Linux (Ethereal 0.8.0 is the "stable" package;
Ethereal 0.8.14 is the "unstable" package, but I don't think
"unstable" in Debian terms means "you want the stable one", so
you might just want to get 0.8.14)
FreeBSD (I don't know for which FreeBSD releases binary packages
are available. The current Ethereal release for which they
claim ports/packages are available is 0.8.14)
NetBSD (binary package of 0.8.14 available for i386 on NetBSD
1.5 - I don't know about earlier NetBSD releases; also available
for ARM...)
OpenBSD (binary package of 0.8.14 available for i386 on OpenBSD
2.8; binary package of 0.8.7 available for i386 on OpenBSD 2.7)
Red Hat Linux (binary package of 0.8.15 available; I think it
was built on RH 6.1, and should work on 6.1 and later)
Slackware Linux (binary package of 0.8.15 available)
Windows 9x/NT/2000 (binary package of 0.8.15 available, but it
involves installing several things by hand, one of which must be
downloaded from another site - if that's too complicated, you'll
have to hope somebody's bundled WinPcap, GLib, GTK+, and
Ethereal into one package, but I don't know of one).
