RE: Is this right one?

[Peter Rodger <prodger2008 () yahoo com>]

Bruce,

Thank you.  If I commented #preprocessor sfportscan, 
i got no alert at all.  Is this normal?

BTW, how do I find out the dropped packets from BASE
console?  (I have a Winsnort on windows 2003, MSSQL
and BASE ocnsole)Currently, the snort box is palced
inside firewall and I span the PIX port to the snort
monitoring port. (I access it from manager interface
on another NIC of the Snort box)

Any suggestions?

Peter
