See Matthew Seaman's post on this - I think he knows more about this 
than I do ;) I remember using snort for something recently and don't 
remember encountering any problems - It shouldn't need to be assigned an 
IP AFAIK.

For some reason, your email address insipred me to check out 
www.vdbmusic.com - I hadn't heard of the band before then. I downloaded 
a couple of MP3s from the site and they are pretty good :)

Not sure if their music ever makes it to Scotland though, which is where 
I am!
