You could try and slow your scans down by using the -T option. The scans will take longer, obviously, but you would get better results if packets are being dropped due to congestion. If you try and run a selective port scan immediately after the 1-1024 or 1-65535 scan, do you get the original results, or the supposed erroneous ones from the 1-1024 . . . ? I have had a firewall/IPS black-hole me after performing a multiple port scan. Slowing the scan _way_ down works, but it's slow. But, If there isn't a firewall on the other side then it shouldn't be an issue. hth, Reid On 28 Apr 2006 13:41:11 -0000, 09Sparky () gmail com <09Sparky () gmail com> wrote:
I am trying to run Nmap both on specific ports and then multiple ports (1-1024, 1-65535, etc). My issue or is this: when I run small port scans; my results come back fine (open, closed, filtered). I have confirmed that the results are accurate. However, when I attempt to scan multiple ports I get various unreliable results. For instance, a port that I could have confirmed either open or closed may show up as filtered or the opposite. No configuration changes have been made and no firewall on remote site. Additional Notes: -I am running over the Internet -I am running from behind a Netgear Firewall/VPN/Router (FW114) with NAT -Cable/DSL Connection (Fast) I am wondering if my router is timing out or perhaps I am performing a DOS of my own router. Does any have any thoughts or experienced this type of problem? If so, does anyone have any recommendations?
