2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon for your NIC, and select Properties.
3. Highlight TCP/IP and click Properties.

   D:\NetQoS\Netflow\datafiles\ReaperWork
   D:\NetQoS\Netflow\datafiles\ReaperInput
   D:\NetQoS\Netflow\datafiles\NFMInput 
10. Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> 'cmd') and enter the following commands:
