okay you have to understand firewalls here.. by port scanning his server your connecting at a very high rate. More than likely you are being blocked at because of these high rate connections to his server. I like what Dan Lynch said about using the max-rate going slow and using nmaps timing options. If you are connecting slower than 5 connects a minute you may not be blocked. However, a scan could generate 100s of connections/half connects depending on the scan a minute which is why you are blocked out. Try to also generate different information with traceroute or hping2 which i saw that was already suggested which is a good idea.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'.First make sure this is within the acceptable use guidelines of your ISP and the server owner's ISP. If it's not, you'd best knock it off. But if it is, there's likely an active IPS somewhere in your path to the server. Use nmap's timing options (either -T or -max-rate)to go "low-and-slow" and avoid triggering the IPS. You don't know what the IPS thresholds are set to, so be conservative, and be patient -- this will take a while. An idle/zombie scan is inherently slower, but still subject to rate-based IPS alerts. You protect your real IP address from the target, but the zombie will get blocked if it triggers the IPS.

using traceroute could locate you to the firewall but more than likely it will be blocked by the firewall so you may have to use different packet sending options to generate different results.
All right everyone i bid you good day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
