I'm afraid that Nmap doesn't fully support PPP on Windows anymore
thanks to @#$!@ Microsoft breaking raw sockets.  HOWEVER, Nmap should
definitely give a better error message that badmouths Microsoft and
gives pointers to options that should still work.

This is a great chance to use the new --iflist debugging option in
Nmap 3.91!  Would you please run 'nmap --iflist' and send me the
output?  That will help me determine how your device is detected so
that Nmap can better recognize it.

Also, does the scan "nmap -P0 -sT -d -T4 scanme.nmap.org" work for you?
If not, please send me the output.

Thanks,
Fyodor
