I think it's the FW and Proxy related. I tried below (using IP instead of www.snort.org):
You're not resolving hostnames, which indicates a problem with DNS. If you're using a unix system, check the /etc/resolv.conf file. It should have the IP addresses of the DNS servers that you use to resolve hostnames to IPs.
# wget -r http://199.107.65.177 --16:13:26-- http://199.107.65.177/ => `199.107.65.177/index.html' Connecting to 199.107.65.177:80... -------------------- Now, it dose not say "host not found", which indicated the proxy related issues. But can't connected to www.snort.org, so I checked firewall log, it did show drops http. Questions: where to check the proxy set up for my snort box?
What OS are you using? What even makes you think you're using a proxy? It sounds like you need to open up your firewall enough to allow DNS and outgoing TCP connections.
