RE: Problems wth Win 2K install of snort

["Ravdal, Stig" <stig.ravdal () digitalpaper com>]

I find out what the problem was:
 
I needed to type (lowercase L instead of uppercase i)
 
e:\snort\snort -c e:\snort\snort.conf -l c:\InetpUb\wwroot\Logs

Hi, 
I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with snort installed on Windows
2000; in particular with the WinPcap library?

I have installed snort on the box according to a doc on
www.silcondefense.com/techsupport/winsnortsnarf_1.8.2.htm 

When I test snort with E:\Snort>Snort -vi1 
it works just fine - I see the output so I think therefore snort is doing
it's job. 
When I try E:\Snort>Snort -c E:\Snort\snort.conf -I C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Logs
-i1 

I get this error: 

Initializing network interface \ 
ERROR: OpenCap<> FSM compilation failed: 
        illegal char 'c' 
PCAP command: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Logs -i1 
Fatal Error, Quitting.. 

It is the c in "c:\Inet...." that it doesn't like.  If I change directories
it gives a that directory as the error char.

Anyone seen this before and knopw what to do? 

Thanks for any help, 

Stig
