In fact this only enables you to look at traffic comming to/from the 
installed NIC. To use netmon on a NIC in promiscous mode ie. 
capturing/analyzing all packets on the lan segment, you need to have the 
SMS version of netmon.


I would myself promote NetXray as the foremost and best quality sniffer 
for NT. Especially since you can deploy agents around on various 
positions on the lan.
For unix i still like tcpdump on a FreeBSD host because of the 
flexibility of rules and parsing of the dump files can be customized to 
just your needs and parsing language :-)

just my 0.02$ worth.
