6.14 --faq-- --snort-- --faq-- --snort-- --faq-- --snort-- --faq--Q: I am using Snort on Windows and receive an OpenPcap() error upon startup: ERROR: OpenPcap() device open: Error opening adapter What's wrong?
A: Either winpcap is not installed, or you are using an incompatible version. Try upgrading to the latest version (2.1 as of 4/11/01). It is available from http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings all,I've installed WinPcap 2.3 and rebooted. Then I used the Windows Installer for Snort from Silicondefense.com to install Snort (Snort1.7 with IDSCenter 1.08d) on a Windows 2000 machine.
When I click on "Test Configuration" I get the same error as reported in the FAQ. Any ideas?
Thanks, Chris. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ 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
