F:\Programme\Sourcefire\Snort>snort -W

I think this is the problem.

On IDScenter (1.09 Beta 1.3) i go a "Generate a script first" msg if i click
on "Test configuration". On another machine i go an error on "Test
configuration", after installing some rules. Sorry, haven't the message
here.

No spaces in the path. But all OSs are in german. Could this be a problem?

And WinDump on one of the machine works withould error. So i think this
isn't a problem from the WinPcap installation. 

Anything that i can test?
