Re: Error opening adapter...

[<secsnort () dirk demon co uk>]

Try doing snort -W, that should list all interfaces on the win2k box.

It might be that the winpcap drivers didn't install correctly. I think
they are part of the Win32 Binary. I installed the Demarc package which
prompted me to install them.

You might want to try rebooting if you haven't already done that. Or try
reinstalling.

That would be a couple guesses off the top of my head
