[Snort-users] Re: I don't get any alerts when reading from file.

You are absolutely right! I could kiss you! Hell, I'm so happy I could
kiss everybody!!!That was exactly the problem. The packets I was generating had all
checksums set to 0, because when I was reading the various protocols each
said that a checksum of 0 means that no checksum is generated. It never
occured to me that snort might reject such packets.Thanks a bunch to everyone! You've been great help!
