In a nutshell: You have to set your HOME_NET variable correctly, the interface must be in promiscuous mode (this is 
default unless you turn it off), and you must have the sensor placed correctly within your network topology.

As far as placing your sensor correctly is concerned, that's for you to know.  You know your network and your hardware, 
which are the relevant variables.  Find a point where you can see what you want to see, and configure what you need to 
configure (hardware, VLAN, etc.) to achieve the desired result.

Cheers

Keith

I got snort set up and working, but I noticed that it only 
seems to monitor
the traffic going to the machine that has snort installed on 
it. How do I
get it to monitor the whole network? Thanks.
