RE: [Snort-users] snort not reporting

Sorry, the second mail was a mistake. I thought the
first one had not been delivered.
I'm connected to the internet through my ISP. I see
that snort has analyzed the 8244 packets but cannot
believe that I never get any bad traffic - not even if
I let http://scan.sygatetech.com/ scan my computer
leaving my firewall open. Is there any way I can get
snort to react - some kind of test - just to see if
the application is working? I have altready tried
portscanning localhost with nmap - still without
anything showing up in snort/ACID.
ppp0 is my interface for connecting to the internet.
