Thanks for your quick reply Brandon. I updated my NIC. For a second I actually thought Nmap was working through but the connection still died (It doesn't show i lost my connection on my network device--just doesn't let me ping/connect to a website). However I might have found the culprit. Using the ethereal sniffer I discovered that in one minute of the scan i have 56 UDP packets and 2,856 ARP requests. So, that's about 48 Arp requests a second. So we can be pretty much assured it's not nmap. Just my card can't handle all the requests at once? What's your take on the situation. Thanks, Heath
While that amount of ARP packets is excessive, you would be hard pressed to find a computer capable of running windows XP that couldn't handle that amount of traffic - 50 arp packets per second is about 3KB/sec. Do you loose your connection after the other stealth scans(-sS, -sX, -sA)?
