Everybody trying to read NetMon 3.3 or 3.4 captures should read Stig's mail:

No 1.2 version can read those captures, and 1.4.0rc1 can't read them either.  Support for reading them was checked int othe trunk and the 1.4 branch, so if there's a 1.4.0rc2 release, it will be able to read them (unless the support has to be backed out), and the final 1.4.0 release will be able to read them (again, unless the support has to be backed out; I don't expect it to have to be backed out).

(No, I don't know when there will be a 1.4.0rc2 release or when 1.4.0 will be released.)
