Window$ (as it is with so many things..) seems to be intent on calling interfaces what it wants, and not being too helpful with letting *you* know what it's calling them.. In a DOS box, try "windump -D" to see a list of all interfaces Window$ thinks it sees.. Refer to the different interfaces by number; tinker with the various numbers presented on your snort command line, and use the one that works. On my Win98 box, Window$ sees two instances of my NIC, for some unknown reason, and still tries to refer to a ppp interface that hasn't existed for years.. My Window$ snort command line: full_path_to_snort.exe -dvv -i 3 So I'm pointing snort at interface "3" - John -- "You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all different."

Hi, I downloaded the latest version of Snort for Windows from the snort.org site, but am unable to get it to recognize my interface. Libpcap is OK. Windump etc can see the interfaces OK. I did some searching on the web and found that it appears to be a known problem. Something about buffer sizes and the new libpcap needing to be re-compiled into the binary. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a newer version of the binary with this mod that I could download? Many thanks, Paul Smith
