what did I miss this time?

hi ! here's something which has been bugging me for sometime now. There is an IP address (public) which I can ping successfully. But when I do an 'nmap -PE' for the same IP, it says 'host seems down'. As expected, a packet capture shows that the -PE option is just sending an echo request (same as what PING is doing). I am trying this from different XP SP2 machines. Same result. I tried nmap 4.11 as well as 4.01. I also tried the -sP option, with the same outcome. Is there anyway the destination host can know that the icmp echo request is coming from nmap and not from a regular PING and thus blocks the nmap ping?? Sorry for these basic questions. Appreciate any feedback/suggestions you can provide. thanks, folks. --Rosh _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
