Public bug reported: When trying to scan an IPv6 host I got this error:
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-05-23 11:34 CEST Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.26 seconds The host is responding to pings, but nmap never send any pings to the host. Nmap only send a few TCP packets to the host, however this particular host did not have a TCP stack and does not reply to TCP packets. I don't know if this bug is fixed by upstream updates, but since nmap 6 has been released and has lots of IPv6 updates it is not unlikely that it has been fixed upstream.
