port_range dose not work

[Hamid Azari]

Hi

I used this configs:

conf 1:
{
10335=yes
10336=no
...
port_range=1-80(or 1-1024 for example)
}

conf 2:
{
10335=no
10336=yes
...
port_range=1-80(or 1-1024 for example)
Nmap[radio]:Port range = User specified range
}

but none of these generated the desired output and all have scanned ports
over the range(500-587-5000-... for example).
What do you think about it?

Besr regards
Hamid Azari
