RE: nmap sending encapsulated packets

["Mike Lude" <mlude () pacbell net>]

The only nmap.* files I have are in the nmap installation directory.

Yes, I chose to also install WinPCap. During installation I recall 
that the nmap installation paused while the winpcap install ran. It 
ended up leaving winpcap-nmap-4.02.exe (that's the install file) in 
my ncap directory, but I downloaded it from the winpcap site anyhow 
before re-installing.
