Re: running oinkmaster - Error: unable to download.....

[Snortty <cwcwcwg () yahoo com>]

I think it's the FW and Proxy related. I tried below
(using IP instead of www.snort.org): 

# wget -r http://199.107.65.177                       
         
--16:13:26--  http://199.107.65.177/
           => `199.107.65.177/index.html'
Connecting to 199.107.65.177:80... 

--------------------

Now, it dose not say "host not found", which indicated
the proxy related issues. 

But can't connected to www.snort.org, so I checked
firewall log, it did show drops http. 

Questions:
where to check the proxy set up for my snort box?

Any other ideas/suggestions, such as am I on the right
track here?
Thanks.
