ok, we cleared up the problem here.  The text in snort.conf is a bit
vague.

<snip-snip>
# You must change the following variables to reflect
# your local network. The variable is currently
# setup for an RFC 1918 address space.
</snip-snip>



I'm curious as to why the var HOME_NET will 
only allow rfc1918 addresses? why is this? 

This is not the case, what makes you think that it is?

Do you get some sort of error message?

What are you trying to set it too?  (Feel free to obfuscate the
addresses)

My HOME_NET is set to real non-rfc1918 addresses, with no problem.
