Hi all, I've just known today that nmap version 4.11 isn't able to work in MS Windows Vista environment (at least in the Ultimate ver.)!! I've found this problem because I tried to use it to scan for details of a website.
First, I tried to run nmap in Zenmap GUI that I've just loaded into my labtop (actually it's my company's labtop :P) with the default option and then I found:
getinterfaces: intf_loop() failed
"Oh!! What the hell is going on !?!!" and then I searched this problem with google and found that not only me having this problem (that's very so relief, huh?) so I found the ploblem is in intf-win32.c of libdnet (need to define MIB_IF_TYPE_MAX to MAX_IF_TYPE rather than 32) [1]
However, I cann't fix this problem with my own efford :P, so I continue searched for others results and found the solution which I can use nmap while nothing to do with its code :D. The reference site was claimed that he take an experiment on nmap and it work properly when he bypass the WinPcap. Otherwise, you can see the details in the reference URL I've mentioned:

I hope it'll help you to fix this problem !! ; )[/b]
