i'm sorry i should of made my opinion more clear...
i don't part. like the Fancy front end, as apposed to the
console mode version...
+ i like to "nmap host > log.txt"
/edit -> kinda funny, i found this on nmap.org
Code:
POPULAR SITE SNAPSHOTS
Here is the fun result of all our effort. We can now take random
Internet sites and determine what OS they are using. A lot of these
people have eliminated telnet banners, etc. to keep this information
private. But this is of no use with our new fingerprinter! Also
this is a good way to expose the <your favorite crap OS> users as the
lamers that they are :)!
The command used in these examples was: nmap -sS -p 80 -O -v <host>
Also note that most of these scans were done on 10/18/98. Some of
these folks may have upgraded/changed servers since then.
Note that I do not like every site on here.

- excuse me for always using the 'code' tag, i like the way it formats the text :)

I use Nmap every once and a while but some times have problems with it and have to have it not ping when it checks a address. It hasn't realy worked out well for me. It does however have a easy to use interface.
-
Thought NMap for Windows doesn't work on loopback interfaces, you can get it to work by specifying your actual IP.

Well anyways thanks everyone I found it and got it working. I'm new to portscanning, but all your replies helped me a lot.

If you just want to test if one port is open (and don't really care about the rest), just telnet or netcat to that port, if you get a 'connected' then it is open, if you get a 'refused or closed' then it isn't, no need to bother with a fancy scanner like nmap...
