RE: Windows Set-up

["Mark E. Donaldson" <markee () bandwidthco com>]

I'm certain your problem must be related to not rebooting after the various
WinPcap installs.  I'm running snort ver 2.1.1 on a W2K3 machine without
problems using WinPcap 2.3.  Never had this happen with snort before, but I
can tell you from experience that I have had many problems with windump &
WinPcap versions when I did not reboot.

Subject: [Snort-users] Windows Set-up

Hello,
I have a problem with the Windows version of SNORT. I downloaded the
binaries and installed them, then installed WinPcap
(http://winpcap.polito.it/). All of this is on a Windows 2K3 server machine
running IIS and SQL Server.

At first I downloaded WinPcap 3.1 Beta, then WinPcap 3.0, and then WinPcap
2.3 and installed them (uninstalling each one after SNORT failed to start
up, but not rebooting, as I need to limit reboots on the server as much as
possible). I don't remember what the error message on the first one was, but
with WinPcap 3.0 and WinPcap 2.3 it was that SNORT couldn't find
WanPacket.dll (the first one was something different). 
Googling hasn't turned up any reference to a WanPacket.dll, which the latest
versions of WinPcap does not provide. Do I need another library somewhere?
Or is WanPacket.dll an old name for a DLL whose name changed under 2k3?

Thanks,

Chris Manteuffel
