I currently have a gentoo box that I'm using as a router for a network. It
has two interfaces: wlan0, which is a wireless interface, obviously, that
faces the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet, which has no connection to the internet
except through the router; and eth0, which is an internet facing wired link.
I have set up ntop(3.3.9) on this machine and am collecting packets on the
eth0 interface(I am intersted in the utilization of the internet link, I
don't really care about what goes on locally over the wireless network).
In the setup as it is, everything works fine but hosts on the
192.168.2.0/24subnet show up as remote hosts when they are, in fact,
local. I took a look
at the man page and it indicates that I should use --local-subnets(or -m)
however, running ntop with -m192.168.2.0/24 causes it to show all the
traffic from the 192.168.2.0/24 as originating from the router itself. I ran
tcpdump and took a look at the packets and the data itself is fine(the src
hosts are as they should be, 192.168.2.*)  but under local hosts ntop only
shows 1 host, the router itself(identified by its MAC address) with the
amount of bandwidth used equal to the total amount of utilization of the
internet link.
Is this behavior normal? (It seems very weird to me, but I'm very new to
ntop) Should I file a bug report? Do you guys need me to provide more info?
If so, what?

Thank you
