RE: Snort Interfaces problem (Win32)

John,

It grabs the interfaces from the Registry, so your PPP interface will
still show up until you do a clean install.

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort Interfaces problem (Win32)

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"
