Very doubtful. I'm not aware of any law that forbids even portscans, much less network troubleshooting or the use of tools like nmap in general. Regards Ansgar Wiechers
I can't find the related articles but I remember reading something about a man who was arrested after portscanning a website because he donated for a relief fund (after Katrina) and suspected it was a scam. I don't remember if he was indeed charged but he was at least arrested, which is pretty scary.
