Snort in IDS mode

["Mr. venkat" <mvr_it () hotmail com>]

Hi all,
   I am using snort 2.3.1 on windows. I don't want to  use any database but 
I want to log all alerts to log files only(I am planning for other way).I 
could run snort in logging mode but I am unable to run in IDS mode. Can 
anybody tell me what is the best way to run snort in IDS mode also please 
tell me the required settings in snort.conf.

   Can snort block any traffic that match the rules or just it detects?
 Thanks in advance,
--Venkat
