Running -T4 is fast, parallel scanning. Try -T2, although be prepared
for it to take a long time, it can be very slow.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try to slow the scan down with a -T4,
but my results still come back the same (well inaccurate). It is
interesting that when I run individual small scans against a single IP
my results are accurate, but when I run a large port scan, they are
inaccurate. Immediately after that, I run the small port scan again and
they are also inaccurate. If I wait about 15-30 minutes and try the
small port scan again, the results are again accurate. So at this point
I am going to try and remove my local firewall and test. Any other
suggestions?

Thanks,

09Sparky
