Thanks E. I love the link :). Cracks me up.

I'll take a look. I saw some of the googles got rid of the messages by tweaking some of the options but I was trying to 
understand more if I should up the max values for example or if there is an issue with the machine that keeps 
triggering this alert.

I'll try to read up more on the tcp small segment option more to understand what its looking for.

Thanks again,
Nick

I am getting a large amount of "stream5: TCP Small Segment Threshold Exceeded" alerts. 

Where should I start investigating this preprocessor message and how to correct the issue or alert?

Have you tried google ?

The first hit there brings you to a thread on this issue :)
