Well good. It’s not me then. :)

As a follow up, how is it that nessus can’t “ping” it when I can. I can do an ICMP ping so I would assume then that that is not how nessus is doing it. In which case, can I change how nessus pings it?

Basically, packet forgery does not work on this device -- Nessus can't "hear" back what the remote host is sending.

A solution to this problem is to disable all the ping methods in your scan policy -> Advanced -> Ping the remote host and disable TCP ping, ARP ping and ICMP ping.
