I had a look at the BBWin source code that runs "netstat -s" and it also
has English-specific string matches related to detecting and presenting
IPv4 vs IPv6 statistics.  You might notice that the IPv4 and IPv6 metrics
are listed with the same names, so EmpfangenePakete is listed twice,
instead of once each for ipEmpfangenePakete and ipv6EmpfangenePakete,
whereas on the English version, you see ipPacketsReceived and
ipv6PacketsReceived listed separately.

For any changes to deal with non-English text to be successful, BBWin would
need to be adjusted.  As it stands, BBWin effectively filters out the lines
related to IPv4/IPv6 ("IPv4 Statistics" etc) when they're not in English,
making it very difficult for Xymon to handle these cases.

Have you tried renaming the netstat.exe.mui file and see if that helps?
 Perhaps BBWin could be adjusted to achieve this effect by modifying
%SYSTEMROOT% for the execution of netstat.

Cheers
Jeremy
