I have had the problem and did not solve it. I got around it by, on the
portmap tab, disabling the 'ping the remote host' scanner. Try using the
'tcp connect() scan' scanner.

I have a small problem with Nessus. If I try to scan single hosts or a
subnet, it can only scan the IP-address where I'm running NessusWX.
Otherwise it /var/log/nessus.messages returns "The remote host is dead".
They are definitely not dead, because I can ping the host(s) from the
Nessus-server.
