OK, I think im on to something. I do not use the -i option, only -c to look
at the conf. in the conf I have for "HOME_NET 192.168.10.0/24" and a little
further down I have "HOME_NET any"

I didn't pay much attention to that earlier because they were both not
commented out by default. Im still a little confused on how snort works. Is
this the problem?

Thanks

What interface parameter are you passing to snort on the command line? -i
any? Try forcing snort to only listen on one real ethernet interface, it
could be sniffing your loopback interface, which naturally would have
loopback traffic on it.
