Great.
Thank you for the confirmation.

Do you know how to set up bpf filters under windows?
I would like to go that route so I can fine tune things vs. just
blocking out entire IP ranges.
But I have had no luck getting that to work.

Yes..   since you are only negating some ip's, the rest that match will
work.

Ok, I think I got it corrected.
I altered my EXTERNEL_NET variable to ::  
[!10.30.0.0/24,!10.10.0.0/24] That seems to have stopped the 
false-positives, while still logging other traffic.
So I am assuming there is a default "any" aspect to this variable.

Hello,
I am running Snort on Windows 2008 Server R2

I am trying to figure out how I can bypass traffic that is being sent 
from certain networks, since it is creating false-positives

Information on my setup.
My watched networks are:: 10.75.x.x/24 and 10.76.x.x/24 Now I also 
have two other networks, that are not being watched, but are part of 
my companies network and setup.
They are:: 10.10.x.x/24 <- Office network
10.30.x.x/24 <- Remote VPN users

Originally I tried putting in a .bpf file, but that did not work. 
(anyone know how to make it work?)


So I tried my HOME_NET like this::
[10.75.0.0/16,10.76.0.0/16,!10.10.0.0/24,!10.30.0.0/24]
That didn't work, snort still sent out alerts for the two networks.
So I put HOME_NET back to ::  [10.75.0.0/16,10.76.0.0/16] And set 
EXTERNAL_NET to this::  [any, !10.10.0.0/24,!10.30.0.0/24], that did 
not work So I tried::  [any, [!10.10.0.0/24,10.30.0.0/24]], that did 
not work



Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

My networks 10.75.x.x and 10.76.x.x are connected to the networks 
10.10.x.x and 10.30.x.x via two Cisco PIX 515E's



Thanks,
Seth
