I've now enabled DMZ hosting, and pointed it at the interface argus is monitoring.  But, to do this I had to plug the linux box into the linksys router.  I restarted argus, with all the above ways from before.  None of them showed test traffic (in this case a ping going from another machine, and a download going from another machine).  Running racount -ar /tmp/argus.out shows that it's getting traffic, but there isn't any ICMP traffic (from the ping test).  So, to recap:

My cable modem plugs into my linksys router.  I then have several computers plugged into the linksys.  I have DMZ enabled, and pointed at the computer with argus running.  Argus is monitoring the interface with the DMZ pointed at it.  It shows some traffic from our network, but not the test traffic.

Thanks for the help!
