Read the message again. It's quite clear. -m (or the --local-subnets long form) must be specified when the -f (or long form --traffic-dump-file) option is used.
Read the man page on -m Why? Well, how else can ntop figure out what's local and what's not when reading a file? Of course you have to tell it... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Wilson Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop-dev] **FATAL_ERROR** -m | local-subnets must be specifiedwhen the -f Hi, captured tcpdump data (tcpdump -i hme0 -w /home0/int0Monitor) to file off interface hme0.
