Erek can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's the three way handshake, and I'm *not* sure that Nikto does that. I think it may just throw exploit strings at the server and look at the responses. If so, that would explain why the flow:established rules aren't triggering alerts.
Can I look at the packets to see if the problem is with the NIC/OS or with WinPCap/Snort?
I would think that ethereal would show you what's going on. Just start it up and record the session and then browse through the results.
