Fyodor,  thanks for the fast response and sorry about the slow response
from my end. 

I wish I was a better programmer... as this does not sound like it would
be that hard a patch for someone to contribute.  And i do think that
Nmap would benefit from reporting all the IP addresses it finds (verbose
and XML motes) when it looks up a host even if it only scans one.  When
doing general checks I don't always bother to use other tools when i am
doing test scans of our local network.

FYI on Windows that would be nslookup not the host command.

Now I am more confused... tried on Monday and Tuesday at the office and
it scanned just fine... Only thing I noticed was Nmap caught the gig NIC
first and scanned it and not the wireless NIC.

Wow 100-200 a day!!

I guess some of those will be redundant.....
