Dear ALL,
I have problem on ntop v.3.3.6 (Dag Apt RPM Repository) on CentOS 5.0

I have one PC with 256M memory and 2 NIC, eth0 used for management, and eth1
was spaned from switch for my internet router.
When I run with "ntop @/etc/ntop.conf", the system complain "**ERROR**
pcap_open_live(): 'bind: Network is down'"
Please check the error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ntop @/etc/ntop.conf

But I was very sure the link with eth1 was up.Does anyboy who can help me to
check it?
Many thanks!

Please check OS information:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT 2007
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

And the way I installed the ntop
rpm -Uhv
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
yum install ntop

The configuration of ntop:
--user root

### Sets the directory that ntop runs from.
--db-file-path /var/ntop

### Interface(s) that ntop will capture on (default: eth0)
--interface eth1

### Configures ntop not to trust MAC addrs.  This is used when port
mirroring or SPAN
--no-mac

### Logging messages to syslog (instead of the console):
###  NOTE: To log to a specific facility, use --use-syslog=local3
###  NOTE: The = is REQUIRED and no spaces are permitted.
#--use-syslog

### Tells ntop to track only local hosts as specified by the --local-subnets
option
#--track-local-hosts

### Sets the port that the HTTP webserver listens on
###  NOTE: --http-server 3000 is the default
#--http-server 3000

### Sets the port that the optional HTTPS webserver listens on
#--https-server 3001

### Sets the networks that ntop should consider as local.
###  NOTE: Uses dotted decimal and CIDR notation. Example: 192.168.0.0/24
###        The addresses of the interfaces are always local and don't need
to be specified.
#--local-subnets xx.xx.xx.xx/yy
### Sets program to run as a daemon
###  NOTE: For more than casual use, you probably want this.
