It looks like nmap is trying to use the “eth0” interface.  That interface doesn’t exist in Windows.  

Can you send the command line options that you used when you got the error?

Yes, the "eth(x)" doesn't exist in Windows, but before the time nmap has
worked without problems.
However, the command line options that i have used are:
1)nmap 192.168.0.132
2)nmap -sF -O -P0 -vv 192.168.0.132
3)nmap -sS 192.168.0.132

Thanks.

Vania
