Network diagram
LOCAL PC ------> (interface 0)router(interface 1)----->remote server
Interface 0 = Ip address 192.168.40.1
Local PC = Ip address 192.168.40.2
Interface 1 = Ip address 192.168.0.1
Remote server= IP address 192.168.0.3
 
When i first installed ntop there was only one default nic called
 
INTEL nic with ip address 192.168.40.2, Device\npf with some long number.
 
However then I had to add a netflow device under the INTEL nic.  Once I added it I called this new nic Netflow.
 
Netflow nic with IP address 192.168.40.0
 
Therefore when I go under the INTEL nic I am seeing the correct localhosts and remote hosts and plus i could see my router interface as 192.168.40.1

However when I switch to the netflow nic I see my Local PC with a remote address of 192.168.40.2 as remote host.
 
So does this mean I should only use the INTEL NIC to do my network analysis currently on this networrk and on a large scale network.  But also for the Netflow Nic why am I not seeing the LOCAL PC as a local hosts.  Also on the INTEL nic with IP address 192.168.40.2 I could see all the flows as well. 
 
So i am kinda confused in which NIC to use.  The intel is giving me the correct information.
 
But under Available Plugins ->netflow it is says in the description " Recieved flow data is reported as a separate NIC in the regular ntop reports. Remember to switch the reporting NIC".  So does this mean I use the INTEL nic for reporting data(data analysis) or I am suppost to use the Netflow Nic.
 
I want to do netflow analysis.  Also I did type in the address 192.168.40.0/24 under -m(local hosts)
Under Netflow conguration -> *Virtual Netflow Interface network my ip address is 192.168.40.0/24
 
So everything seems to be configured fine.
 
If anyone can tell me what the problem could be please let me know. Currently I am assuming I am only suppost to look at the INTEL nic for netflows.
 
 
Apprecaite your help
