Chris,

Just out of curiosity.... I've never found Snort for the Windows
platform. Do you have a link for this?

I've heard very good things about SNORT, and it's hard to beat free,

I 
haven't used it yet myself.  It runs on both win and lin systems so 
compatibility shouldn't be the deciding factor.
