I have a home network which is managed by a Umax Ugate 3000 hub connected to a cable modem. The hub has features such as exposed host (allows me to place one machine outside of the DMZ), block wan probing, block wan icmp(s), and the ability to forward virtual ports for internal servers, as well as create rules for applications that require two-way communication.

I am starting a honeypot project (www.lucidic.net), and I'm curious as to how to setup Snort 1.8.x effectively on Windows 2000 clients. I previously tried using the WinPCap libraries, but when I tested my configuration, I was given an obsecure error message along the lines that winpcap was unable to initalize the device "\" (which should be my ethernet card). Unfortunately I do not have the error message on hand. Any suggestions?
