I just scarapped my previous version of snort for 2.0. I should have stayed with the other.

Win XP home is my OS

Ok, in my event viewer I'm getting this message repeatedly:

The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( SnortService ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Undefined variable name: (C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccountDesktop\Snort\etc\snort.conf:24): HOME_NET
.

When I run attempt to test snort from teh IDS center console I get this message.

ERROR: Undefined variable name: (C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\Desktop\Snort\etc\snort.conf:24): HOME_NET
fatal Error, Quitting..

This is confusinng the **** out of me, any help would be greatly appreciated.

edit, incase it helps any, the 24th line is read as the following

var DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET
