There must be an unfiltered TCP port somewhere, no? > I have been digging into the knowledgebase and disabled various tests like > ping_host.nasl (10180) I think that disabling ping_host.nasl is not OK if "auto dependencies" are on, because many plugins depends upon ping_host and it will be enabled again. Two solutions, IMHO: - disable auto dependencies & ping_host - let ping_host run, but go to pref and unselect all ping methods. > If not is there a way of running nmap first and feed the output > automagically to Nessus? Yes there is, but it will not solve your ping problem. ping_host detects more alive machine than nmap ping. -- http://arboi.da.ru/ PGP key ID : 0x0BBABA91 - 0x1320924F0BBABA91 Fingerprint: 1048 B09B EEAF 20AA F645 2E1A 1320 924F 0BBA BA91 _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
