Generally, such problems occur because of how the port scanners have been configured; try configuring ping_host.nasl (plugin #10180) for TCP pings using the "built-in" or "extended" port range (alternatively, you could use ICMP since you say it works (from your nessusd host??)) along with Nessus' TCP scanner (#10335). If this doesn't help, please provide specific information about the problem, such as scanner configuration and log / KB info corresponding to a target host.
