I've found running nmap under native *nix to be the most reliable way to do 
port scans. Tried the Cygwin and VMware options using different network 
configurations but they didn't seem as fast or reliable (From experience the 
VMware option is the better one to go with if you are set on using nmap under 
windows). 
There is an win version of nmap available but it tends to fall over (I find - 
does anybody else have experience using the windows version?) and doesn't seem 
to cope well with packet fragmentation (-ff) and some other options. 

If you don't have a *nix system available, boot from backtrack and chuck in a 
usb key to write the data to in greppable format (-oG /media/USB/scan1.log or 
similar)
