Chris Reid has been notified that Snort will need to be modified in order to use WinPcap 3.1 and newer. A good rule of thumb: Never use BETA versions, at least until the initial IDS is functioning correctly using only release versions of Snort and its support programs. Also, never install WinPcap over itself. ALWAYS uninstall, reboot, check for and remove any packet.dll found, and then install the new WinPcap. Kindest regards, Michael...

I thought I installed Snort correctly, however.....After experiencing this myself, it appears that it's a winpcap version problem. If you go to the source of winpcap: http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm Winpcap 3.0 works, but Winpcap 3.1-beta does not. Also note that you have to un-install 3.1 in order to successfully downgrade winpcap. You can verify the re-install worked by locating packet.dll in your system32 directory and doing a right-click properties. The version tab will give you the version number of packet.dll and you should see it change after you're done. For reference, my working version of the dll is reported as 3.0.0.18 by windows. This may not be the only working version, but it is one that works for me with snort 2.1.2. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
