depending on the type of scan you are running against the server you
could try bouncing your packets off an ftp server or passing them
through a socks proxy.  you could also just try changing your ip.

I am conducting this little security test on a specific web server owned by a colleague of mine, saying it's pretty 
secured. So first I ran nmap but after the nmap scan completes (and it says all ports filtered, which is impossible), 
the web server became unresponsive. I called my friend in order to explain him how accidentally I DoSed his server 
but he says it's all ok. I check again - it's not responding. So I connect through a proxy and whoa - it's alive, so 
i guess after the nmap scan the server somehow protected itself by blocking access to the site for my ip. I would 
like to know what I can do in this case, how I can successfully complete a nmap scan without putting it 'down'. Any 
ideas please?
