Yeah just tried it without quotes and again it's a little better.
Here is the current setup

var HOME_NET 192.168.1.1/32
var EXTERNAL_NET any
var DNS_SERVERS [61.9.208.13/32,61.9.208.16/32,24.192.1.30/32]

giving the following /var/log/messages/

Jun 27 17:03:30 phoenix snort: Initializing daemon mode
Jun 27 17:03:30 phoenix kernel: eth1: Setting promiscuous mode.
Jun 27 17:03:30 phoenix kernel: device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Jun 27 17:03:31 phoenix snortd: snort startup succeeded
Jun 27 17:03:31 phoenix kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode

Then snort just dies

Still not sure of the problem??????
I have also changed
var HOME_NET 192.168.1.1/32
to be my IP given to me by my ISP
Still no luck
