Do you mean that you don't see traffic from other machines on your 
network out to the Internet? That probably means that your machine 
doesn't see the traffic. If it's in promiscuous mode, that probably 
means that you have a switch rather than a hub. Try configuring your 
switch with a mirror port, or putting your sensor inline with your NAT 
router as a transparent bridge. Also check that you can see the traffic 
with tcpdump or wireshark before blaming pmacct :)

Cheers, Chris.
