Two nmap/firewall questions:

1) I am using the firestarter firewall.  When I try to scan a server with
nmap I get repeated "operation not permitted" and my firewall's logs show
blocked hits from MY ip.  why is this?

2) when I stop the firewall and type nmap -sF -F -O xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on a
serveur which I know for a fact is up and running and which I can ping - I
get nothing (even without the flags). Nmap returns nothing at all. what am
I doing wrong here

BTW - when I run nmap on 127.0.0.1 it works just fine.

thanks in advance!

Andrei
