Re: How can i stop alerts that come from my own ip range?

[Paul Schmehl <pschmehl_lists () tx rr com>]

If you make EXTERNAL_NET any, it would include your own HOME_NET.  Depending 
upon routing or the way a sig is written, you could then get alerts from 
HOME_NET to HOME_NET.

I thought the standard convention was

var HOME_NET [your address space]
var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET
