Hey,

By default if you run the nmap scan on any site it runs the syn stealth scan. If you are getting all the ports open this could be a false positive. However to confirm your results try -sS, -sA (normally used to get through a packet filtering device)or -sT. If you are still getting all the ports open then try running hping from a linux box to confirm your results.

Hi dude,
What happens if you try with the '-P0' switch ?
I beleve you should've tried something like this: 'nmap -vsS -P0 <address>' because the '-PN' switch will only treat host as 
online. I don't think it is gonna work, but it's only a guess.

I hope it's usefull...

hi,
i tried to nmap a site and it said that the pings are blocked and i
had to use the '-PN' switch. well the result which i got was that all
the posts were open. though if i telnet to those posts, they appear to
be closed.
can that be done? fooling that all ports are open on the server if it
can be, then how?
