nmap - strange scan results


Hi all, I'm currently doing some experiments with nmap in a Backtrack 5 VM environment. I am currently at a cafeteria and I'm connected to the (open :S) network at the shop with my Windows machine. In the BT VM I'm trying to scanning my Windows machine (with another network adapter) but I'm getting unexpected results:


nmap -A Aggressive -sS -O 10.236.xxx.xxx

Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-07-09 12:11 CDT
Nmap scan report for Aggressive (67.215.xxx.xxx)
Host is up (0.17s latency).
rDNS record for 67.215.xxx.xxx: hit-nxdomain.opendns.com
Not shown: 999 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open http lighttpd 1.4.19
|_http-methods: No Allow or Public header in OPTIONS response (status code 302)
Warning: OSScan results may be unreliable because we could not find at least 1 open and 1 closed port
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 2.6.X
OS details: Linux 2.6.9, Linux 2.6.9 - 2.6.30
Network Distance: 1 hop

TRACEROUTE (using port 80/tcp)
HOP RTT ADDRESS
1 14.97 ms hit-nxdomain.opendns.com (67.215.xxx.xxx)


10.236.xxx.xxx is my Windows machine but another machine in the network (67.215.xxx.xxx) is currently replying to my nmap scanning...could you help me to understand why?

thank you in advance,

Marco

"Nmap scan report for Aggressive" - the hostname you're scanning is "Aggressive" and that's the IP your system is resolving it to. the -A means "aggressive", you don't need to write anything after it.
