RE: snort not reporting

Sorry, the second mail was a mistake. I thought the
first one had not been delivered.
I'm connected to the internet through my ISP. I see
that snort has analyzed the 8244 packets but cannot
believe that I never get any bad traffic - not even if
I let http://scan.sygatetech.com/ scan my computer
leaving my firewall open. Is there any way I can get
snort to react - some kind of test - just to see if
the application is working? I have altready tried
portscanning localhost with nmap - still without
anything showing up in snort/ACID.
ppp0 is my interface for connecting to the internet.

I installed snort 2.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.6 together
with ACID 0.9.6b23.
Everything went fine. When I start snort:

sudo snort -dvi -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

I get the following:

Nothing gets reported. I have configured snort.conf
like this:

var HOME_NET any
and
var EXTERNAL_NET any
and
output database: alert, mysql, user=root
password=<mypassword> dbname=snort
host=localhost

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Allan
