Correct, the one ntop is using to view traffic has an ip of 1.1.1.1.
The other nic is used to access the web interface.

You are using 2 interfaces, right? One with no IP on the mirror port,
and one on a normal access layer port with an IP for the web UI?
Just checking to make sure...

Are you sure you have enough hardware?  My traffic is mostly in the 10MB
range, with spikes up to 30 or so.  On my 2x866MHz Xeon w/2GB RAM I had
to restrict NTop pretty substantially to keep it up at all when watching
our WAN link.  Defining --local-subnets and then using
--track-local-hosts to only watch those hosts in depth made the biggest
difference, but it took the whole package in order to reach relative
stability.  It still crashes from time to time, but nowhere near as
frequently as before.  Here are the performance-related switches I use:

--local-subnets
--no-mac
--track-local-hosts
--disable-sessions
--no-fc
--disable-decoders
