Our ISP has configured several internet routers to send NetFlow data on port 
9996 to a particular machine. I have successfully configured PRTG to get the 
data to see lists of top recipients, etc, so I know this machine is receiving 
the NetFlow data ok, but it doesn't store the flows for later analysis, so I've 
disabled it. How do I configure nprobe to get the flow into a file I can 
analyse?

I'm confused about which mode nprobe needs to be used in to collect the data. 
I've tried this:
nprobe /c --collector 192.168.0.203:9996  -V9 -P c:\temp\nprobe
but it seems to be collecting local traffic. In among it, I can see that there 
are flows from the router to this machine on port 9996. What I need is the flow 
information inside those packets.

I tried this:
nprobe /c -i none -n none --collector-port 9996 -V9 -P c:\temp\nprobe
but it collects nothing.

Where am I going wrong? I'm not sure if I usderstand the differences between 
probe mode, collector mode and proxy mode. I need collector mode, don't I?
