RE: Win2K & Overlapped I/O Issue

["Hicks, John" <JHicks () JUSTICE GC CA>]

I ran into this problem too. If I remember correctly, it had to do with a
memory problem in WinPCap. I used thw windump util to T/S the install before
going back and trying it with snort.
 
> From memory, a complete uninstall and reinstall of a local copy solved the
issue.
 
WinDump is available here: http://windump.polito.it/
