We have installed the IDS in a windows XP desktop as per the guide and everything seems to be okay. But the problem is we dont know/ have little knowledge ,about how to use the WINIDS in real time enviornment. Could anyone please guide us in this matter.

I got as far as getting it running. now i would think you need to figure out if everything's working.
i only get tcp traffic so i think somethings up with that for my install.

Only a portion of the rules are active. You might want to activate all rules to test the Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS). Not good to run these in a production environment. This is how I test in my development box.
The stock activated rules are just a basic starting point.
