Thanks Joel,

I used PulledPork but it didn't get any of the *.rules files that are in 
the tar.gz file. I manually added them in then ran PP again out of which 
I got:

Reading rules...

        Dropped Rules:----0
        Disabled Rules:---14849
        Total Rules:------31728
        Done

I still get the flow bit errors as PP from above only enabled 24.


In the log file I noticed that I got a bunch of "unkown message" entries 
so I don't know if that's got anything to do with it?


Using the -k none option as suggested previously I don't get any more 
'Bad chck sum' errors but I still don't get anything logged either?


Previously when I used version 2.8.6 with the Emerging Threats ruleset 
even when run for a few seconds Base would just spike with occurrences, 
mainly for p2p icmp packets.


Basically it's still not working :-(

Kaya
