Can't alert on most

Hi all, I'm just starting out with Snort. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 with Snort 2.9.6.0. I have this running in Virtualbox, and the Virtualbox Server is also Ubuntu (but 13.10). In the Snort vbox, I have two NIC's bridged to the network; eth0 is the management and eth1 is the sensor NIC. I have both set to promiscuous mode and allow all traffic. With tcpdump, I can see traffic being passed just fine on eth1. When I startup snort, I have the alerts getting dumped to a log file in ASCII. In the log file, the only thing I really see a lot of is: [**] [129:12:1] Consecutive TCP small segments exceeding threshold [**] [Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2] {TCP} ...and there's some other alerts, but the TCP small segments are the ones that dominate the log. I can do a nmap scan from offsite and all I see are the above alert; nothing about a portscan. Does anybody know why I'm seeing this? In the conf file, I have pretty much all stock (except for the paths). Is there something else that needs to be enabled in order to see the proper alerts? Thanks in advanced...
