Hi, I am having problem running nmap (4.11 Win). I run it over WinXP SP2 and after running it I see the following error:: D:\Program Files\Nmap>nmap -sP www.hackology.com Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2006-09-30 18:46 India St andard Time pcap_open_live(ppp0, 104, 0, 20) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20). Will wait 5 seconds then ret ry. pcap_open_live(ppp0, 104, 0, 20) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20). Will wait 25 seconds then re try. Call to pcap_open_live(ppp0, 104, 0, 20) failed three times. Reported error: Err or opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20) There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating system: LINUX: If you are getting Socket type not supported, try modprobe af_packet or r ecompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled. *BSD: If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kern el with Berkeley Packet Filter support. If you are getting No such file or dire ctory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod). SOLARIS: If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No such fil e or directory', complain to Sun. I don't think Solaris can support advanced lo calhost scans. You can probably use "-P0 -sT localhost" though. QUITTING! D:\Program Files\Nmap> Please send me the solution so that I can use nmap properly.
