Hi Luca Thanks for your response :-)
I agree that the -u didn't make a lot of sense in my environment. Anxious not to screw up any more than absolutely necessary I was trying it anyway in accordance with the 1st run instructions. I don't understand why ntop being a service on Win2K makes -b unnecessary. > DB support is not available on Unix too. If you need it export NetFlow > flows towards a collector such as the one I have written and that > saves flows into a DB. Those two answers have me even more confused. I thought ntop was the collector and that I needed to use -b to ask Ntop to forward info to /databases/ODBCServer.java. I also understood that Ntop can collect Netflows from my router or create it's own flows (acting as a probe) and forward those to the db. I've just reread everything I've been reading on www.ntop.org and include in the ntop distribution and can't see anything to correct my thinking or help me progress.
