Thanks for the report. The error message is for reverse-resolution, so it doesn't matter that you specified an IP. Do the standard library calls find DNS servers for you? If so, how? We would like to fix it so Nmap can determine the DNS servers the same way. Also, please try to reproduce the problem with the latest version of Nmap, 4.04BETA1: http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Apr-Jun/0326.html Cheers, Fyodor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
