Hello All,I am using Nmap v4.76 on MacOSX 10.4.11. I searched the mailing-list archives and found several reports of my kind of problem, but did not find any solution. When running nmap I cannot use the Syn-scan nor run any scan as root. When I try the Syn-scan I get an error message: "WARNING: Unable to find appropriate interface for system route to 10.5.67.1" That address is my router/DSL modem. I can however run scans as root when scanning localhost. After reading all the related posts I see that troubleshooters will ask for the output of both nmap --iflist & ifconfig -a. I have seen other posters offer also the output of netstat -rn so below is the output of all 3 of those commands:
