nmap under Windows

[cyber ped <cyberpedz () yahoo com>]

hi,
   i'm using Windows XP SP2, tried everything listed in the trouble-shooting section, but no success.
   i'm using....
          - nmap version 3.75
          - winPcap version 3.1 beta 4 (i used version 3, didn't work,so i uninstalled it and installed version 3.1).
 
btw, nmap wasn't even able to ping the host, even when i could ping it using the ping command.... the program couldn't 
access the internet in any way.
 
i started to get crazy so i turned off my firewall...negative.
 
so.....do i have to re-invent the wheel and do the drivers myself (i was planning to do that, until i found nmap   :)   
      )    ?
 
one funny thing that keeps popping up in my mind is that...if i keep modifying windows for more flexibility....i'll end 
up with a whole new OS. Imagine, an OS that needs is an OS. 
      Anywayz, thanx for ur time.
