Does ntop recognize your wireless NIC? If so, did you select that NIC before 
viewing the various reports/stats/etc?

BTW, you know ntop just monitors traffic right? "Stopping" torrent completely 
will prove challenging. Also, if the torrent traffic is hiding inside http ntop 
will never know - unless something has changed recently.

Subject: [Ntop] Is it possible to view wireless traffic?

I am using NTOP on a Windows Vista 32bit laptop. It has both wired and wireless 
capability. After running NTOP for a couple of days, it appears that I can see 
traffic from devices WIRED to my Linksys Router, and one wireless connected 
printer, in my network. However, I can't seem to see traffic coming from other 
laptop devices that are connecting wirelessly to my network. The router has 
WPA-Personal security enabled.on all wireless connections (even the one HP 
printer is configured this way), yet I can see the printer's traffic 
(sometimes) showing up on NTOP..

Q: Any idea how I can open up the wireless communication to NTOP as well? I 
need to prevent TORRENT traffic on my network, from my landlady's wireless 
computers. (Part of the deal, in exchange for my reduction in rent, is her use 
of the Internet and half the monthly bill).

I've tried turning on WiFi on the laptop, by itself, and with my wired 
connection to the router, at the same time, to see wireless traffic.. no luck. 
I am in a rural country area, and there is not another wireless router for 
miles, so that's not going to matter.

Thanks!
