Hi Chris,

Try to use the -w switch to define the address and port your ntop will 
wait for HTTP request.
For example: ".... -w   192.168.1.1:3000 ..."
Looking at the output below, it is possible your ntop is configured to 
accept connections just from the localhost. The hbci should be the 
service name assigned to the port your ntop are waiting for http 
requests. Probably that name is defined at /etc/services.

Best regards,

Rivalino
