+== Snort Practical, Week 12 ==
+
+=== Problem 3: Fresh install configuration issues ===
+
+After installing Snort using our package manager, the configuration check fails
+because a variable in the file '/etc/snort/snort.conf' appears not to be set to
+a valid value.
+
+==== Resolution ====
+
+The header of the so called file describes us the steps to create our
+configuration. A 'README.variables' file is advised to be read. However, it is
+not present on our machine. To get it, we have to install the package
+'snort-doc' (we can use 'apt-get' to achieve that).
+
+We can fix the configuration issue by setting 'HOME_NET' to '127.0.0.1'.
