Apparently the Dell Optiplex 780 has got some kind of nanny program built into it. Not only wouldn't it run nmap, it wouldn't even run ping!
WTF??? If you install Linux on that computer, where is that nanny program running? I've never heard of a computer or anything else blocking ping, as it's a useful tool that's often necessary to resolve problems. What happens if you make a bootable USB stick and use it to ping or nmap?
