Hello Adrian,

Are you running Windows Vista? If so, to quote a popular response:
"Make sure you are running as an administrator. I think you
right-click on the icon and select "Run as administrator" "
From: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/0829.html

Nmap requires administrative rights to access your Ethernet card(eth6,
in this case).

Your second question has to do with network address translation. More

Unrelated, its too bad the UAC patch was never applied. It might
reduce much pain and suffering.
