Hello you can try
http://ipscan.source....net/ipscan.exe

And if you want all network and net tools in one then you download netwtool3

There is a GUI for nmap.

ethreal, its more than justa port scanner

[tain]

Ethereal is great but I personally wouldn't classify it as a port scanner. It is used for passive monitoring, not active probing.

Are you sure that it even has the ability to port scan? I've never tried...

[ringfinger]

I second the Ethereal suggestion.

[tain]

No.

Ethereal does not have a port scanning capability.

[phkninja]

i appologise, ethreal doesnt have port scanning features. Tain was right.

you can use angry ipscan/portscan. seems easy to use

YAPS Port Scanner http://www.steelbytes.com/?mid=19
Freeware. This is the one I have.

i could never use anything other than nmap.

and even the crudest IDS will seriously flip out at seeing all those sequential tcp connects

[Ophiel X]

for a good connection monitor, windows already has one.

make a file called netstat.cmd and put this in it:

start /b /normal /wait %windir%\system32\netstat.exe -a 1>netstat.txt
start /b %windir%\notepad.exe netstat.txt

whenever you want to view your current connections/listening ports just dbl click netstat.cmd

(sorry to bring this topic back)
is it possible that ethereal wont be able to capture a packet(especified kinda packet)?
i remember that packet capturing tolls like ethereal that works with winpcap have a weak point that they cant capture some special packets.is that right?
if yes is there any capturing program that doesnt have this flaw?

---is there anyway i can install microsoft networkmonitor that comes with windows server on my xp?

It may not be the best out there, but free is a good price. FoundStone SuperScan4 is one I use all the time.

Thanks guys for these feedbacks

Try NmapView, it is a Windows frontend GUI for NMap.

I could not figure out how to use it with NMap

Slightly off-topic, please excuse me.
It's been happening in the past a few times and since last night it's happening again: some guy on my LAN is spoofing my IP (trying to). Windows has been giving me a dozen message boxes, in time, showing his MAC address.
My question is: how could I find his computer/user name based on MAC address, so I could at least try to send him a net send message? I tried Angry IP Scanner, but that one's based on IP scan and it doesn't catch the offending machine. Our admin is not in town right now and it gets annoying to see those message boxes pop up every now and then. I'm running Win98SE, so I hope someone knows some tool that works on my system.
Thank you.

arp.

[Drugwash]

Thanks but besides the fact that I don't understand any of those explanations, upon a quick look it appears it can't do what I need. ARP seems only able to resolve IP address based on MAC address, but I don't need the IP, because I already know it: it's the same as mine, that's why the network conflict occurs!

What I need is something that would be able to retrieve at least computer name by scanning the IP class (or a wider range, if needed) for a given MAC address. I can only send a net send message based on computer name (and that only if I'm lucky).
