Re: newbie question

["Jon Baer" <security () jonbaer net>]

few options:

* reboot - especially after installing winpcap
* depending on what u are connected to, u might not see any traffic (like a
switch/bridge)
* try downloading Nemesis for Windows
(http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/nemesis/) for debugging a simple
rule.
