nmap not working


I'm running nmap 3.93, but it's only working for one network interface I have. It works for eth0, but any address I try that needs to go through wlan0 it just thinks is down. I can ping all of these addresses fine with ping, so what gives? I've also tried the -e switch but it doesn't help.

Anyone have any ideas?

Use the -e option:
From the nmap manpage:
Quote:
-e <interface> Tells nmap what interface to send and receive packets on. Nmap should be able to detect this but it will tell you if it cannot.

I am having the same problem. I just upgraded to the 3.93 version, and now everytime I try to scan an IP on my network i get the following error:

Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-10-12 00:34 CDT
caught SIGSEGV signal, cleaning up
