I have the BB NT client running sending data from a windows 2003 host to the hobbit server. 
Running tcpdump I see data being sent from the window host, and then I see data received by the hobbit server host.

Data does not display on the web page and I can't locate the host centric data (disk/process/etc) anywhere on the hobbit server.
Check if the server is listed in the "Ghost clients" report. 99% of the
time I see this problem, it is because the hostnames don't match between
what is in the bb-hosts file, and what the client reports. Most of the
time it is a mismatch between a plain hostname and a fully-qualified
domain name (Windows boxes tend to use the simple hostname).
