null_ptr0

well on my older desktop i recently added a dual boot with kubuntu, so now it has kubuntu 7.10 and windows xp (im thinking sp2). well im hoping its not sp2, because of the dreaded raw-sockets kill. so i wrote a simple syn flooder with kate and compiled with gcc, when, to my suprise, didn't work. the following socket() call failed and produced the perror("socket()") call.
im afraid that this is because windows has already messed with the networking drivers and disabled raw sockets.
if anyone here has some insight, please help

edit:
i believe nmap does work (port scanning atleast). im severely confused.
