two problems and a question with nmap or nmapwin

I downloaded and installed nmap win, and have two problems and a question.
Problem 1
Things were working fine (except for problem 2 below) until I installed winpcap 2.3. From that point forward
everything I tried to do with nmapwin seemed to take forever. I would fire up a command and it will just sit there,
forever, till it comes back. Quick scans of a range of addresses that would take only a few seconds will now run for
minutes at a time for EACH address in a range of addresses. Honestly, it doesn't matter what options I choose and what
selections I make - it takes FOREVER to finish. Makes no difference if I do it through nmapwin or nmap from a command
line. It CRAWLS! For example, here is the screenshot back from a nmap commandline run:
nmap -sT -P0 -F -T 3 172.16.0.15
Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap )
Interesting ports on DEV-1.shorelinebf.com (172.16.0.15):
(The 1146 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port State Service
135/tcp open loc-srv
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
12345/tcp open NetBus
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 230 seconds
Taking 233 seconds to scan one port (it's actually the machine nmap is running on) means that scanning a range of 255
machines might take as long as 17 hours to finish. I swear I did the same command before installing winpcap2.3 and it
took less than 1 minute to do 255 addresses. Any ideas?
Problem 2
If I enter a range option of /16 to scan, for example, 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255, the system nmap is running
on reboots itself! An option of /24 is okay, but /16 and I get a reboot. And a chance to decide whether or not to run
chkdsk, since it's the kind of shutdown that W2K thinks is very unkind. Any ideas? (This was happening BEFORE I
installed winpcap).
Question:
My reason for getting nmap is because I want to find every IP address that is connected to my network. Most of them I
know are out there, but I do not know if there are any "rogue" hardware out there that is either hooked up by someone
else or is a piece of gear that should be there that I have overlooked.
I want an nmap command that will give me back a list of all of the IP addresses on this side of my firewall so that I
can know that I have all of them in my network diagram.
What is the nmap command I want to use to get this kind of information back?
Any help with any of these problems greatly appreciated.
