Hello,

On nmap.org you'll be able to download the latest nmap which is 
IMHO a better tool and you'll be able to read about the differences that
were implemented in the SP2 TCP/IP stack which causes the problem you
encounter and how to partly by-pass them.

Hope it helps,
Guillaume

Subject: superscan on win2k vs winxp

hello friends!!

I am using superscan to scan hosts for possible open ports.But
surprsingly ,if i scan it from windows 2000 and windows xp with sp2
the results differ.

When i scan from xp it gives no open ports and when i scan from
windows 2000,it gives certain ports open.

Does anyone have any idea regarding this?

If tcp/ip stack is implemented differently on both the  opertaing
systems then can anyone tell me how i can get tcp/ip stack info on my
xp and 2k machine?

I think superscan is multithreaded ,can anyone suggest me other
multithreaded scanners?

Regards,
Pavan Shah.
