Scott, Thank you for your quick reply! Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but the firewall is not turned on on the OpenVAS appliance by default is it? How can I check to see if it is on? (Sorry, I am very much a Linux newbie!)

If you have a proxy in the mix, you will have to authenticate to it in order to use wget.
