[NTLUG:Discuss] Scanning networks

[Paul Drew]

Howdy,
I didn't think about the fact that they are windows people, and that test 
does center around windows. Sorry about that, I guess I wasn't thinking 
clearly. It should have tested your well known ports, and helped there at 
least. :) I am new to the Linux side of things, but I come from a windows 
background. I am still making the transition from Mac's, and Windows to 
Irix, and Linux. Wish me luck. :)
