I have posted this before. Since then I downloaded the files again (in case of corruption) removed, reinstalled, rebooted etc etc. This post has the same problem and I contacted the author who had not been successful in getting NMap to run. I am not a clueless newbie although I am starting to feel like one and the email below certainly reads like one. </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Anyway, my NMap error message is consistent and quite clear. </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:10pt">" The Netgroup Packet Filter service fai led to start due to the following  error: The system cannot find the path specified.  " </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">Perhaps I am installing incorrectly. ? Or just missing something super duper basic that would brand me as a newbie for life :-)  </span></font></div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">I RTFM, double checked, even ran registry monitor app and that dang file just isn't being found. </span></font></div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">If someone would be kind enough to write step by newbie step instructions for install under XP so I can check that I am not missing something incredibly basic it would be greatly appreciated. WinGrab is very useful for repetitive screenshots such as these. http://home.no.net/wingrab/ Yes, I realise that the instructions are clear enough on the homepage but something just ain't right .... please don't make it be me ;-[ oh ... the shame ... the shame .... </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">BTW I have a legitimate reason for wanting this to run. 30% of my ISP bill every month is kiddie scripters and annoying probes. No penetrations for over 12 months but something must be attracting them to my IP. </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">Have a nice day </span></font></div> <div align="left"><font face="TAHOMA"><span style="font-size:10pt">Tony</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt"> </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">On 11 Nov 2002 at 1:07, I wrote: </span></font></div> <div align="left"><br/> </div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I run WinXP Sp1 and have identical error message as this post (text below) </span></font></div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">http://lists.insecure.org/lists/nmap-dev/2002/Oct-Dec/0009.html </span></font></div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I have done all the stuff listed in the other post.
