Re: Snort user needs HELP!

Jake,

You are probably running too-new a version of WinPcap for the version of
Snort you are trying to execute.  Downgrade your WinPcap to either 2.3 or
3.0 and try again (to minimize problems, avoid any version of WinPcap with
the word -beta- in it).  The new 2.3 version of Snort (which hasn't been
officially released yet) should be more resilient to this sort of problem.

Just remember:
- uninstall WinPcap
- reboot
- install different version of WinPcap
- reboot
- try Snort again
