NMap 3.55 help

[thehorse13]

So, I had to quickly restart our router and hope no one noticed! That happened TWICE. Yeah, talk about looking like a doofus.

NMAP will crush a SOHO NAT router. Do you have a small office (20 or so) running behind a cable/DSL connection? If so, DON'T try to do an NMAP scan again from behind the router. You'll need to jump on infront of it.

You called it TH, SOHO NAT and around 20 or so computers here. Yeah, so I won't mess with that again here.

Even after I have typed in "cd C:\nmap-3.55" in Command Prompt it still doesn't work. What do I do?

You have to navigate to the directory it resides in first.

O.k so what do I do then? It's in my D drive, but I've tried changing the command prompt to "cd D:\nmap-3.55" and it still doesn't work.

Sorry for being so ignorant

Well, I'm guessing at this point, but try copying it to your hard drive, then run it from whatever directory you stick it in.

nmap is located in:
[glowpurple]D:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\nmap-3.55-win32\nmap-3.55,[/glowpurple]
so what do I type in cmd to start it up?

Thanks

When you start cmd where are you? c:\Documents and Settings\your name.......?

Edit

Just copy Nmap to your system32 folder. It will start without having to navigate to where ever you have put it.

D:\Documents ans Settings\Tim

I have copied it in it's folder to system32, and I just went onto cmd but it still can't be found. Do I have bad luck or am I just rubbish at this?!?!

Yeah, copy it from CD to that folder as you would any other file you would copy.
