    do you have the latest version of winpcap installed?

    http://winpcap.polito.it/

    If so, try uninstalling it, rebooting, reinstalling it and rebooting again.

    I've had little problems with winpcap like that before on a work machine...

    The latest version of nmap for win32 works fine for me with the latest version of winpcap on xp sp2.

    ok now it is working but here is the message i get when it runs



    Code:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\tools\nmap-3.75-win32\nmap-3.75>nmap -sV someipaddress
    
    Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2005-01-20 08:44 Eastern
    Standard Time
    Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
    
    Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 4.735 seconds
    
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\tools\nmap-3.75-win32\nmap-3.75>
    ok Now i know that the machine is up an running but the weird thing now is that when i run a diffrent scanner it workis fine. Now if i use the -P0 it goes to the starting nmap 3.75 line then just stops nothing else after that.

    Wasn't there a work around version of NMAP to resolve this ?
    It seems to me that others were having the same problem and insecure came out with a version that worked around sp2 trying to block nmap.

    That messagemost likely means that your firewall is working . It takes freaking foreven on my box to do a -P0 scan but it will eventualy finish. patience young jedi
