Firstly, let me say thanks to Fyodor for nmap! What an amazing and useful tool. Second, I don't know if anyone has already contacted you about the bug for windows that says "dnet: unable to open device eth0 QUITTING!", but I found a workaround. I'm not much of a coder, so I can't delve that deeply into it, but it seems to have a problem with my wireless network card receiving an address before my ethernet card does. So, my workaround is . . . 1. Disable wireless card. 2. Plug in ethernet cable. 3. Allow ethernet NIC to receive IP address. 4. Unplug ethernet cable. 5. Enable wireless card. 6. Run nmap for windows. Like I stated before, I am not much of a programmer, so I'm not sure why that works exactly, but apparently nmap needs my ethernet card to receive an address prior to my wireless card. My apologies if I am sending redundant information, but I couldn't find this fix anywhere online myself. Please make use of it what you will. And, many thanks once again for a great program!
