Scanning 255.255.255.255 from Windows

["Hans Nilsson" <hasse_gg () ftml net>]

Hello.

I was just trying to scan the IP 255.255.255.255 from my Windows box but
Nmap doesn't allow me to do that. It says that Windows doesn't allow you
to scan localhost in that way, but I don't want to scan localhost, I
want to scan 255.255.255.255. Surely Windows allows you to set
255.255.255.255 as the destination IP?


"Well why would you want to scan 255.255.255.255 that seems pretty
pointless."

Well actually I'm trying to investigate the "ip helper" settings on
local routers.
Ip-helper is this: http://routergod.com/trinity/

And allowing you to manually set the destination MAC or automatically
setting the destination MAC for broadcast packets would be great too.
