i like this one from the nmap man page:

- -P0    Do not try and ping hosts at all before scanning them. This
       allows the scanning of networks that don't allow ICMP echo
       requests (or responses) through their firewall. microsoft.com
       is an example of such a network, and thus you should always use
       -P0 or -PT80 when portscanning microsoft.com.

augie.
