Re: Nmap-5.61TEST4 for Windows - VMWare ESXi OS Fingerprinting Issue -- ISSUE RESOLVED

[Shane Kinney <shanek () isiisi com>]

Hi David,

Thank you for your help.  This issue has now been resolved.  There was a
firewall in the way,
and once disabled nmap-5.61TEST4 was able to port scan and OS fingerprint
VMWare ESXi 4.1
successfully.

Thanks to you and the dev-list for the help!

Cheers,
-Shane Kinney
