I just installed ntop 1.4.4 and when I start it, it give me infinite warnings "packet truncated":

...

Do I need to configure something?

I tried to access the web interface (http://localhost:3000) but it does not work.

Note: I'm on CentOS.

EDIT:

Not sure if it helps but there is my "ifconfig":
