RE: Installing SNORT 1.8.3 on win2k server

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

YP,

 

This is an installation from Sourcefire. You might want to contact Marty
and find out why?  I would be more then happy to help you if you were
using the installation documentation written by me located on our
website as I have never installed the Sourcefire installation. It's
usually a problem with WinPcap. You might try going back one version
(2.2 Non Beta).

Dear Sir: 

I saw your email address and post replies on Snort discussion forum. 

It seems that I have the similar problems that most users have with
installing Snort on Win2K system. 

I am trying to install Snort on a Win2K server with SP2.  I am using
WinPcap 2.3 beta.  I am getting the following errors:

Initializing Network Interface \ 
ERROR: OpenPcap() FSM compilation failed: 
        syntax error 
PCAP command: Files\Sourcefire\Snort\snort.conf -l C:\Program
Files\Sourcefire\Snort -A full -h any 
Fatal Error, Quitting.. 

Please help.
