Hi, Bruce:
Thanks for the info. I went to 'vulnerabilities' web site and
initiated a scan of my ISP, not knowing what else to use for a host
address to be scanned. It returned the following result:
==========================================================
66.55.21.94
From: Unprivileged user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA7 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Skipping host (66.55.21.94) due to host timeout
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 75 seconds
Nmap scan provided by www.vulnerabilities.org
==========================================================
As you can see, the host server timed out during the scan. I'm not
sure what would be a better host address to use. Mayube I should try
SuSE's web site.
Below are the results of scanning SuSE's site
==========================================================
Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA7 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Skipping host (66.55.21.94) due to host timeout
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 75 seconds
Nmap scan provided by www.vulnerabilities.org
==========================================================
I'm not smart enough to evaluate the results.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Glenn
