["Jones, David H" <Jones.David.H () principal com>]

Did you install the winpcap drivers as well?

Subject: Windows execution problem

Hello to all,
   
  I recently downloaded nmap 4.11 to run under Windows. 
  I used the Installer (exe file) and nmap was installed.
   
  I am trying to use it and I get this message:
   
  C:\A\bin\Nmap\nmap www.insecure.org

There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating
system:
LINUX: If you are getting Socket type not supported, try modprobe
af_packet or recompile your kerne
l with SOCK_PACKET enabled.
*BSD:  If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile
your kernel with Berkeley Pa
cket Filter support.  If you are getting No such file or directory, try
creating the device (eg cd
/dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod).
SOLARIS:  If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No
such file or directory', co
mplain to Sun.  I don't think Solaris can support advanced localhost
scans.  You can probably use "
-P0 -sT localhost" though.
#################### END of ERROR MESSAGE ######################
   
  I am using Windows XP SP2 and a dialup connection  and I wonder if
this is the case that nmap doesn't support (actually Windows and raw
socket access)
   
  Thank you for your time,
   
  tpa
