Another list member informed me of this issue (however i can't remember who to credit sorry) but he disabled the 2nd CPU in the boot.ini file. I know this disables the CPU if your trying to get a powerhouse, but if it really must run there, apparently it works. hth, John -----Original Message----- From: cwhite To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Sent: 6/13/02 9:56 PM Subject: [Snort-users] error initializing the network interface on win2k i have installed the current win32 snort binary with winpcap 2.3 on windows 2000 advanced server (dual cpu), and when i try to run snort i get the following error: Initializing Network Interface ERROR: OpenPcap() device open: Error opening adapter: l¦=w ¦=w + Fatal Error, Quitting.. from what i've found out the current version of winpcap doesn't work on dual cpu system, so i tried installing both version 2 and 2.1 hoping it would work, then end result is the same error as above (if they had only listened to me and put db2 on linux they wouldn't have needed a dual cpu system to run win2k with db2, but that's another story... :-) ) does anyone know how i can get this running without disabling the 2nd cpu? many thanks _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
