Looks like installing those runtimes did the trick! i actually never knew you had to run those. i thought that was for 
compiling with Visual Studios. Anyway, it is now up and running
 
 
I have a question/suggestion. As you are aware, certain services depend on having EXACT source ports echo the ports 
they are trying to connect. For instance, i beleive IPSEC and RIP will not even look at you if you come from a 
different source port other than what they are listening on. I beleive NETBIOS likes that behavoir also
 
Why not have a way to scan, and as you are running nmap, the source ports could match the destinations on the fly. 
Could this be feasible? It sounds like a promising idea! At least you will have a better chance of getting a possible 
response back you might not have otherwise, agreed? Not sure how hard it would be to code this in but it is worth a 
shot for testing anyway
 
I appologize if this point is moot and nmap already does this. Quickly. i mentioned adding that "payload" option to 
send your own data specifically with data-length instead of random bytes. Someone came up with a patch. Did this patch 
ever get added to the newest nmap? If not, is the idea even still being considered???
 
 
Thanks/
