Nmap Development: Re: Nmap 4.22SOC7 Error on Vista

[Alan Jones <alan () ajsquared us>]

I have done some more searching, but not found much. I saw Fyodor
commented in September that 4.22SOC7 should have fixes for Vista. 
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0030.html  Unfortunately the fix
may not have done everything.

I have WinPcap-Nmap 4.01 installed (never had anything older installed),
but the command line says the following....
nmap -v scanme.nmap.org
WARNING: Could not import all necessary WinPcap functions.  You may need
to upgrade to version 3.1 or higher from http://www.winpcap.org. 
Resorting to connect() mode -- Nmap may not function completely

Starting Nmap 4.22SOC7 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-10-20 08:28
Central Daylight Time
..........

Is there a difference between Nmap's WinPcap and standard WinPCap?  I
saw there were comments in WinPcaps forums that Wireshark had a modified
WinPcap.  It can get scary when different groups want their own modified
versions of standard things like WinPcap.

thanks for your thoughts on this...
