Okay, here's try two on my little cosmetic problem. I do think this is 'cockpit
error' on my part and -not- a bug in NTOP.

Problem:
When viewing the info screen about a particular client or workstation that NTop
has collected data on, all machines seem to be listed as "remote", even those
within my subnet.  When NTop was first installed, it was on a machine within a
firewall on a private network (192.168.20.219). Since then, I and the machine
have been transfered to another state. Now the machine is exposed, outside the
firewall, on a different subnet (204.288.xxx.xxx)

I believe I've modified all the appropriate host and network files for linux to
change the machine address, but perhaps I missed something specific to NTop. I
can get into the machine with SSH, I can ping out, do DNS lookups, browse the
web, etc.

I suppose I could apply the Windows solution and uninstall the RPM then
reinstall it. I've had good luck with that working on other operating systems,
but that doesn't lead to understanding what is going on, its more of a way to
resolve the problem and return the machine to service. On this particular
machine, I'm more interested in understanding the process.
