OK, it looks like I'm getting the same problem under Windows XP SP2.
Can someone give me a couple of hints where to look in the code base? I
ran into this today on a laptop. I was able to run a scan "nmap
xx.xxx.x.xxx -v -sV -p 23". The first scan ran through clean after
running the scan several more times it failed with the message;
"
\nmap-3.93>nmap 64.139.2.219 -v -sV -p
 23

Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2005-10-12 12:27
Pacific
Daylight Time
nexthost: Failed to determine dst MAC address for target 64.139.2.219
QUITTING!
"
Any ideas where I should start looking for this one?

Sean
