Nmap Error... [solved]

[Guest Lethe]

Hi,

 

/* First of all, sorry my english.. */ =)

 

i get this error when i tried to scan some host in nmap..

 

[root@localhost nmap-4.11]# ./nmap 81.213.242.252

Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-08-31 13:53 EEST
Warning: File ./nmap-services exists, but Nmap is using /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-services for security and consistency reasons.  set NMAPDIR=. to give priority to files in your local directory (may affect the other data files too).
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 2.045 seconds
[root@localhost nmap-4.11]#

 

and so, what can i do :s

 

Thank you.

It worked on mine:

 

[ian@europa ~]$ nmap 81.213.242.252

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 4.019 seconds[/code]

 

but I'm using Mandriva 2006 and their version of nmap, as you can see my version is different to yours:

 

[ian@europa ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nmap
nmap-3.81-1mdk

thanx for your attention..

 

i'm using mandriva 2006 too.. but i didn't know mandriva has nmap.. i downloaded it..

 

i'm newbie in linux.. so how can i install nmap-3.81-1mdk ? or is it installed ?

 

when i tried install it i get an error like that.. where can i find nmap-3.81.1mdk ? ..

 

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep nmap
nmap-frontend-3.81-1mdk
nmap-3.81-1mdk
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ih nmap-3.81.1mdk
error: open of nmap-3.81.1mdk failed: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

 

:wacko:

Yes, you have 3.8.1 installed. Remove the one you downloaded, and then just type nmap and it should run it.
