Re: dnet: Failed to open device vmnet8

 @Chris - You can nmap the vnmnet interfaces from your host to your guest.
Even though this is not a real interface.

 I did a quick test on Fusion 4.1.4 with and nmap 5:

 nmap specific ports and works fine
 nmap -O -F -Pn and it gives me "Warning: Unable to open interface vmnet8
-- skipping it." but completes scan but does not return the OS

 Yep it is a known problem, only full tcp scans work anything else fails
when it host to VM

 Vmnet interfaces aren't real devices so you can't use nmap on them.
