Difficulty setting HOME_NET to my interface address

I'm having great difficulty doing this, because snort.config does not seems to accept my interface name when setting
HOME_NET.
As a cable modem user I've great interest on doing this, as my IP changes oftenly.
Doing snort -W I get a list of my interfaces:
Interface Device Description
-------------------------------------------
1 \Device\NPF_NdisWanIp (NdisWan Adapter (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
2 \Device\NPF_NdisWanIpx (NdisWan Adapter)
3 \Device\NPF_NdisWanBh (NdisWan Adapter (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
4 \Device\NPF_{B42CDDC9-B4BB-42BB-86A5-456FB6192510} (Realtek 8139-series PCI NI
C (Microsoft's Packet Sche
duler) )
5 \Device\NPF_{10B946B4-4170-4447-9D02-6D2E135640BB} (Realtek 8139-series PCI NI
C (Microsoft's Packet Sche
duler) )
The interface I want is the 5.
Then on snort.conf I write:
var HOME_NET $\Device\NPF_{10B946B4-4170-4447-9D02-6D2E135640BB}_ADDRESS
(line 48)
then snort -T
the result is:
------------------------------------
C:\Snort>snort -T

Does anyone have an ideia of what I'm doing wrong?
