Stuck at Commencing Packet Processing

[Lena Okanovic <lokanovic () flightapps com>]

?Hello,

I am new to Snort. I just recently downloaded and installed it on Windows 2008 box. I got the WinPcap and rules 
installed per instructions found on the internet. I also configured the snort.conf file to use Snort as IDS. Testing 
results come back without any errors. However, when I execute snort.exe -i1 -s -l C:\snort\log\ -c 
C:\Snort\etc\snort.conf I get no log created and the cmd prompt is stuck at Commencing Packet Processing

I also chose Interface 1 because of my configuration. 1 and 2 have no IP and 3 is my management interface with IP 
settings assigned.

What am I doing wrong? Oh, also, in the config file I left 'any' for the HOME_NET address.


Thank you!
