sir,
        i  am having some problem in using nmap,  i am new user to nmap world, so please guide me in this regard, the 
error which i am getting is written below.
      i am running windows xp sp2, and i am using nmap 5.0 command line since it was not working so i even installed 
zenmap.
     i am using wireless net connection to connect to net and by wireless i don't mean 'wifi'  it's wireless data card.
     please guide me,   the detailed error is follow:
 

"C:\>nmap -sP www.hackingmobilephones.com
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-08-12 03:12 India Standard Time
WARNING: Using raw sockets because ppp0 is not an ethernet device. This probably
 won't work on Windows.
pcap_open_live(ppp0, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: T
he system cannot find the device specified. (20).  Will wait 5 seconds then retr
y.
pcap_open_live(ppp0, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: T

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 r
ecompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled.
*BSD:  If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kern
el with Berkeley Packet Filter support.  If you are getting No such file or dire
ctory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod).
*WINDOWS:  Nmap only supports ethernet interfaces on Windows for most operations
 because Microsoft disabled raw sockets as of Windows XP SP2.  Depending on the
reason for this error, it is possible that the --unprivileged command-line argum
ent will help."
