Whats Up!
Aliright soo my HOME_NET should be eth0? and EXTERNEL_NET should be any?
Casue on my network  "eth0 is connected to the INTERNET" and
"eth1(192.168.0.1) is connected to my LAN"?


var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS
var EXTERNAL_NET any

Like this its suppose to be?

Change the second one to:

        var EXTERNAL_NET $!HOME_NET

Unless you have a _good_ reason to use any.  Remember the fewer addresses
that snort has to consider, the faster it is.

Cheers!
