 From memory the only thing ntop does to the system is to put the ethernet  
card into promiscuous mode?  I've never heard this mess a card up, but  
perhaps its this that bit you.

Ntop has not caused similar problems on the couple of gateways I installed  
it on, so could it be your DSL connection was having problems (such as  
setting up a new connection) and it was just coincidence?

Go on, try again....
