RE: Nmap XP problem

Hi Radu,

At a quick glance, it looks like you're using a PPP connection to get
directly on the internet.

According to the WinPcap FAQ:
http://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-5

Can I use WinPcap on a PPP connection?
...
Windows 2000/XP/2003: these systems have limitations in the NDIS binding
process that prevent a protocol driver from working properly on WAN
adapters. WinPcap 3.1 and newer offer limited support for capturing on
dial-up adapters using a wrapper over the Microsoft NetMon driver. 
NOTES:

 * it is possible to capture control packets (LCP and NCP) using the
"Generic Dialup" or "Generic NdisWan" adapter (which is always listed even
if no dialup connections are available). Control frames are captured as
Ethernet encapsulated PPP frames. 
the PPP protocol is translated by the OS into a fake Ethernet. You'll see
Ethernet frames and not PPP frames. 
 * transmission is not supported. 
 * filtering and statistics gathering is done at user level.

As mentioned in the second bullet, transmission is not supported, which I
believe is why Nmap cannot use WinPcap to open the adapter to send packets
for scanning.

I'm afraid it looks like you'll need to find another way to connect to the
internet in order to perform scans using Nmap (e.g. an Ethernet connection
through to a router that will establish the connection to the internet for
you).

Hello and greetings from Romania! I came to you with a little problem. For
making the things easyer I've attached a .jpg. I googled every single text
from that error but I didn't find anything that could solve my problem. I've
included "--iflist" and "-version" in the picture. I'm using Windows XP SP2.
Thank you! Radu.
