Hi,

This slightly fixed the problem but snort will still not start?
here is my error messages

Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snort: Initializing daemon mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: eth1: Setting promiscuous mode.
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snort: ERROR /etc/snort/snort.conf (7) => Rule netmask (32") didn't x-late, WTF?
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snortd: snort startup succeeded

Here are the first few lines of my snort.conf file

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

Am I right in assuming the HOME_NET variable is the IP of the machine with snort running?
Becuase That is the IP address of the machine from inside the firewall.
I can't understand what is going wrong.
