Starting over ....

Good idea. :-)

I believe your IP address obfuscation is blurring the analysis.   
Please repost the rule definition and the original packet again.  This  
time change only the second octet of the IP addresses.  Defining both  
ends of the conversation as both being on the "10." network is messy.   
We'll just start over.

Also please include the following line from your snort.conf:  "var  
HOME_NET ... "

var HOME_NET 80.xx.86.0/24



80.xx.86.40 = Our webserver on our lan, behind (next to) the Snort box
195.xx.18.18 = Some client on the Internet
