Re: Error while starting snort

Ok, I found the solution, I'm using Debian and the HOME_NET has to be
defined in snort.debian.conf and not in snort.conf...

Thanks for your help and time.

   Can you quote your exact definition of HOME_NET? Is it like "var 
HOME_NET [192.168.0.0/24]" or "var HOME_NET 192.168.0.0/24"?

Firstly: Thanks for your quick answer!

I changed the HOME_NET to 192.168.0.0/24 but I still get the error :-(

Any ideas?

What's your var HOME_NET declared to be? is it "any"?

I'd suggest redefining HOME_NET, or modifying  src-ignore-net. After all, 
what good is a preprocessor if you ignore packets from "any" source?
