LANalyzer was a Novell utility for Microsoft Windows associated with Novell NetWare. It allowed users to monitor and control network traffic, recording trace data so administrators could examine activity and troubleshoot network communication.
The file contains captured LANalyzer trace data in the utility's native format. It is a data file for LANalyzer rather than a NetWare program or configuration file.
The format is historical and is unlikely to be used by current network-analysis tools.
Open a .lanalyser file with the original Novell LANalyzer software in a compatible Microsoft Windows environment. Modern operating systems generally do not provide native support for this historical trace format.
If the original software is unavailable, a current packet-analysis program should not be expected to open the file directly.
The original LANalyzer software may be required to view the trace or produce any reports or exports it supports. A modern packet-analysis program should not be assumed to convert this historical format directly.
