Tyler: I have only one interface. I tried what you
suggested. I did a bunch of web requests from the
machine and telnet request into the machine. No luck.
Here's the output of the commands:

From the output below, Snort probably isn't
hanging...its doing exactly what
you want.  The only thing is you aren't seeing any
packets go by on the
interface you are listening to.  

Run 'snort -W' to list all the available interfaces
and make sure you are
listening to the interface you want by running
'snort -dv -i #' where # is
the number of the interface you want to listen on.  

Also, try generating some traffic on your local box
to make sure you are
seeing things go by.

Subject: [Snort-users] newbie question

Hi: i just installed snort and winpcap on a w2K OS.
I
have not made any changes. When I run snort.exe -dv,
it just hangs there. I donot see any packets. I
donot
see any way to debug and see whatz happening. I
tried
pinging and telnetting to the host when this was
running. What am I missing here.

Thanks in advance.
