When I set the port range to scan to 1-65535 the scan will start but the progress bars do nothing. Sometimes the port scan progress bar will fill up then disappear then the attack bar will fill up about 1 notch and it will sit on one random scan. As far as I can tell the process is still running and responding to the system just nothing is going out. I am scanning machines with no firewalls so it doesn't seem to be an issue with it hanging on not getting an ICMP back. Although that as well is a problem. I try and scan machines that have ICMP blocked but open ports in high to low ranges 1-65535 etc. I turn off ping host and all the TCP and ICMP pings that nessus would do. Try and scan with a small range or large and it again does nothing and shows no results. Sorry for mashing to problems into one but they seemed as if maybe they could be suffering the same problem. I recall when I first visited nessus.org and was reading through something said "if nessus is running slow change so and so to 5" but I can't seem to find that text now.
