Am I way off here?

OK so I've originally wanted snort running inside my network to make sure
I'm not being attacked inside or scanned.  Things of that nature.  However
as I look for explanation on why I'm getting all of the false SMB Microsoft
type traffic I see that most people use the var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET.  So
what I gather is that people are not monitoring their local networks
traffic?  Am I barking up the wrong tree here with what I want or does it
just take some configuration to get around the false positives that I'm
seeing?
Thanks,
Brian
