Hi i use internet from behind a proxy server. I want to use nmap to scan some external hosts but iam not able to do that. It resolves the ip address but fails to access them reporting that the host may be down. I tried pinging the hosts but that also doesnt work
My env variable has the followinf format
http_proxy=username:secret@proxy.com:80
is it because my proxy is blocking icmp packets.. is there someway i can verify that??
thanks -- Puneet
