[ILUG] Snort config - newbie question.

[ILUG] Snort config - newbie question.

Hi folks.
I installed snort on my firewall out of interest, but I'm not sure I've 
configured it correctly.

My external IP is xx.xxx.xxx.xx in the following snort report.

I'm using debian, and my /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf file has :

DEBIAN_SNORT_STARTUP="boot"
DEBIAN_SNORT_HOME_NET="xx.xxx.xxx.xx"
DEBIAN_SNORT_OPTIONS=" -o"
DEBIAN_SNORT_INTERFACE="eth1"
DEBIAN_SNORT_STATS_RCPT="root"
DEBIAN_SNORT_STATS_THRESHOLD="1"

---------
I have a simple firewall with external on eth1, and internal lan on eth0
On the internal net I only have some windows PC's (mixture of ME & XP) 
and a linux mailserver

I am concerned to see what looks like "strange" traffic from my external IP

Pointers please ?

Thanks,
Declan
