snort -l C:\Snort\Log -c C:\Snort\etc\snort.conf -A console

then i ping my box from external network like that

Try this


snort -v -ix x= interface


if you do not know the interface number, do this

snort -W MUST be capital

This will show all interfaces

Then run snort -v -i2 if 2 was the correct interface

Now from the snort box open a webpage. If configured correctly you will see some action. :-)
