Hello Kevin ,

I had the same problem compiling in VS express 2008 on Windows Vista.
It seems that Microsoft decided to implement a few more functions in
their 2008 framework, here is a (Albeit hacky) solution that worked
for me.

In the nbase, dnet, nmap, and nsock subprojects, define the following
preprocessor definitions:

HAVE_INET_PTON
HAVE_INET_NTOP
HAVE_VSNPRINTF

Then, in the nbase subproject:
comment out the 'inet_pton' function in 'inet_pton.c'
comment out the 'inet_ntop' function in 'inet_ntop.c'


Then, comment out the line "#define vsnprintf _vsnprintf'" in the
following files:
os.h - dnet
nbase.h - nbase

Finally, go into tcpip.cc and change the following:

    inet_ntop(AF_INET, frame+38, who_has, sizeof(who_has));
    inet_ntop(AF_INET, frame+28, tell, sizeof(tell));
    Snprintf(arpdesc, sizeof(arpdesc), "who-has %s tell %s", who_has, tell);
  } else { /* ARP REPLY */
    inet_ntop(AF_INET, frame+28, who_has, sizeof(who_has));

to

    inet_ntop(AF_INET, (void*)(frame+38), who_has, sizeof(who_has));
    inet_ntop(AF_INET, (void*)(frame+28), tell, sizeof(tell));
    Snprintf(arpdesc, sizeof(arpdesc), "who-has %s tell %s", who_has, tell);
  } else { /* ARP REPLY */
    inet_ntop(AF_INET, (void*)(frame+28), who_has, sizeof(who_has));
