First, thanks for the quick answer and sorry for not giving all the details.
Finnally, I got it to work and I'll give some explanations below.
The dual homed linux is NAT-ing the private network of our University. It 
is where ntop is running, it's a Mandrake 8.0 on a PIII-600MHz/256 RAM/SCSI 
U2W machine.
Since our NAT policy is rather complex and I won't discuss it here, there 
are multiple addresses (aliases) on each NIC. So I configured the ntop and 
the collector to use the private segment (10.xx..) to transfer data. 
Everything worked very well, but the data files were containing no data, as 
I said. Finnaly, after some tcpdumping on the interfaces I noticed that the 
udp packets were sent through another IP address than I was expecting. 
After configuring the collector to accept packets from that address, 
everything started to work (as I am now writing some special scripts to get 
what I want from the flows..)
That's about it.
Is there any parameter to set to tell ntop which interface/ip address to 
use when exporting the flows?
Anyway, thank you very much for that work, I really appreciate it!!
Best regards,
Adrian
