Thanks for the tip, I had the error with an old nmap version, didn't know
the message had change; since I'm writing this, I would just point out to
Gisle that the MS Loopback driver don't change anything : I personally use
it to access my coLinux when I don't have "normal" network access, and
nmapping its address is just the same as 127.0.0.1!


End of line.

I've been through the troubleshooting guide, and I've done some
Googling,
but I don't see a solution to this one.  I'm running Vista (RC2, x86),

I've tried installing 4.11 and 4.20A.  I get the same result:

C:\Program Files\Nmap>nmap -v localhost

Thanks for the report.  As others have noted, you cannot scan
localhost with Nmap using a default SYN scan.  But Nmap is supposed to
give you an error like this:

c:\> nmap.exe -v localhost

Starting Nmap 4.20ALPHA10 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2006-11-01 23:03

Skipping SYN Stealth Scan against localhost (127.0.0.1) because Windows
does not support scanning your own machine (localhost) this way.

So your Vista problem may be something different.  Do you have an
ethernet interface on the machines?  What happens when you scan other
machines on the network?

Would you send the results of "nmap --iflist" and "nmap -d4 -sP
--packet-trace scanme.nmap.org" to me or the list?  You can change
your IP addresses/hostnames to things like "sourceIP" for privacy.

Also, is Nmap on Vista (release candidate) working for other people
here?  I've been assuming Nmap works because I haven't heard
complaints, but maybe people just haven't been trying it?  I'd hate
for this to just take us by surprise like WinXP SP2 did.

Cheers,
Fyodor






Any thoughts?
