    I have found that I you set Namp to "do not ping" the IP and "do not
    detect the OS" it works wit SP2.

    Subject: XP SP2 nmap incompatibility

    Installed XP SP2 yesterday. While the installation was lengthy but
    event-free, I did notice that nmap 3.55 stopped working correctly. I was
    in between scanning subnets here on the network, and installed SP2.
    After that, when I resumed my sweeps, I noticed that nmap was reporting
    that any host I tried scanning had all its ports filtered. I tried
    upgrading the Winpcap driver to the beta one, but that didn't improve
    things. I doublechecked my Windows Firewall settings and verified that
    it was set to OFF.
     
    After removing SP2, I scanned a host with a known configuration and nmap
    correctly identified the open ports and what OS it was running.
