Snort Newbie with issues

["Atkins, Dwane P" <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu>]

I seem to have successfully installed snort on a Fedora 4 machine using
MySql with Base 1.2.5.  However, I am trying to see if alert are logging
on my snort box.  To do this, I have put in a 4 port hub, connect 2
machines, 192.168.250.8/28 & 192.168.250.9/28 along with my sniffing
port.  I have installed tcpdump on the snort box and prior to initiating
a Nessus from 192.168.250.8, I run tcpdump with the command of tcpdump
-vv 192.168.250.9  and then I run my nessus scan on 192.168.250.9 from
192.168.250.8.

 

I do not seem to be seeing any packets coming into the snort device.  I
do not have IP assigned to the snort sniffing interface (eth0).  Should
I?


Does anyone have any other ideas of what I may need to have done? 


Thanks


Dwane
