Terry, Yep, sure is. We use a Nessus 3 server under Windows 2003 and NessusWX clients under WinXP. You'll need to adjust the listener settings for the server so it listens on one of your servers public IP addresses, by default it only listens on loopback. And of course you'll need to open up port 1241 for Nessus (the default).
We've found NessusWX to be preferable to the native Windows Nessus client. It just offers more options, responds quicker and is easier to work with when creating custom scan configurations. I really wish Tenable would adopt it as the official Windows client, :( >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 6:53 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Control Nessus for Windows from NessusWX > >Hi > >Is it possible to control a Nessus for Windows system from >another Windows system running NessusWX?
