Andre', if you are listening traffic on a mirrored interface maybe you are collecting the "live" traffic and you don't have netflow packets. In order to store netflows into mysql you need to have a device that has the capabilities to create and send netflows to the ntop machine. Once you have set up this machine/device you should be able to see flows stored into the mysql dump. Yuri
