Hello!
By chance did you remember to install the latest release of WinPCap?
It is the capture library behind the TCPDump utility, and that's the
name for it in Windows. The Ethernet available binaries are linked
against it.

And if you could mention where you find your copies of the "RSTS/E 9.x
environment" I personally shall be eternally grateful.
