Hi All, Merry Christmas & Happy New year This is my first email to you. I am new to Nmap tool, started learning from your book "Nmap Network Scanning". Thanks for the great open source tool. I have Windows Vista as base OS and installed VM ware 7.0 on it. I installed Windows 2003 on VMware and bridged the network. On windows 2003 VM OS, i installed the newly downloaded Nmap 5.0 GUI version for windows. I only set my IP address (192.168.1.2 - my base Vista OS) in the Target IP and left the default intense scan in the Profile. I got this strage OS detection result which i have attached in this mail. I am afraid, if Nmap couldnt find my local Base OS from its VM ware OS. Instead of Vista OS, it is guessing the OS as Apple OS X 10.5.5 Leopard, Please review it and reply. regards, Jaisankar.R
