(This has nothing to do with DES.  NTLM hashes are MD4-based.)

JtR 1.7 includes a hack to implement that in the default john.conf:

# Case toggler for cracking MD4-based NTLM hashes (with the contributed
# patch), given already cracked DES-based LM hashes.
# Rename this section to [List.Rules:Wordlist] to activate it.
[List.Rules:NT]

lMT[*0]T[*1]T[*2]T[*3]T[*4]T[*5]T[*6]T[*7]T[*8]T[*9]T[*A]T[*B]T[*C]T[*D]Q

So you need to rename the section as the comment says, then run:

john -show pwfile | cut -d: -f2 > cracked
john -w=cracked -rules -format=nt pwfile

Obviously, you need Cygwin installed - or do this on a Unix system -
for "cut".
