Always the error message 1053 is appearing. The early free version of Ntop (v3.89 iirc) worked well on Win XP running under OpenXtra and installation was quite easy. However, for some unknown reason, when I tried to re-install it on a slightly newer Win XP it installed but failed to run (iirc it was similar to the error you are seeing). In the end I bought the Windows Ntop v4. This installed and and ran OK. However, there are several problems which I've mentioned on this forum but they remain unanswered. In fact, from what I can tell, there are almost no responses to any Windows Ntop queries. Perhaps you have the same dilemma I had. You could purchase the Windows Ntop v4 release and it will probably work (with some limitations), or you could try waiting for help here. Or, run the Linux version, for which help seems to be readily forthcoming (if thats an option for you). If you want to try your luck with the free Ntop on Windows and have not yet tried OpenXtra then you could try it, but I would not be surprised if it doesn't work. Also, I believe the original OpenXtra Ntop download has been removed. Thats why I purchased the official release but its a little disappointing when it doesn't correctly distinguish between local and remote ip addresses and can't be run remotely via an 8Mb/s broadband because of the heavy reliance on lots of graphics (that alter the very statistics you're trying to monitor!) -- Mike Hobbs _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
