Dear Sir,
             when i am using nmap then i am facing problem----------
 
 
Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-01-16 01:31 India Standard Time
pcap_open_live(ppp2, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device 
specified. (20).  Will wait 5 seconds then retry.
pcap_open_live(ppp2, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device 
specified. (20).  Will wait 25 seconds then retry.
Call to pcap_open_live(ppp2, 100, 0, 2) failed three times. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot 
find the device specified. (20)
There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating system:
LINUX: If you are getting Socket type not supported, try modprobe af_packet or recompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET 
enabled.
*BSD:  If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kernel with Berkeley Packet Filter support. 
 If you are getting No such file or directory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod).
*WINDOWS:  Nmap only supports ethernet interfaces on Windows for most operations because Microsoft disabled raw sockets 
as of Windows XP SP2.  Depending on the reason for this error, it is possible that the --unprivileged command-line 
argument will help.
SOLARIS:  If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No such file or directory', complain to Sun.  I 
don't think Solaris can support advanced localhost scans.  You can probably use "-PN -sT localhost" though.
 
 
QUITTING!
 
 
Plz give me some minutes from your valuable time and provide me solutions.....


Thanks and Regards
