Essentially, you need to disable the different ping types; ie, Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do a ARP ping = no Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do a TCP ping = no Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do an ICMP ping = no Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do an applicative UDP ping (DNS,RPC...) = no These will prevent ping_host.nasl from marking the host as dead if pings would otherwise fail.
