Bulent and Marty,

We are using several snort sensors on tokenring without any problems.
The only difference is the Operating System. We are using Linux and not
Win32. Maybe it's a libpcap problem?

Greetz,
Karl

That's very possible, the Token Ring users of Snort are a pretty small
set of people, and I think you're the first person that's tried it on
Windows. If you could capture some packets with Ethereal and mail them
to me (the binary packet captures), I'll see if I can update the
decoder.
