Report about unrechable Hosts = yes
So the report is good, but the host should not be reported as dead?

Yes. ping_host.nasl runs "nmap -sP" against the target. Depending on

Do a TCP ping = yes
Do an ICMP ping = yes
Mark unrechable Hosts as dead (not scanning) = no
Report about unrechable Hosts = yes
Use ARP = yes
Use nmap = yes
nmap additional ports for -PA = 80,8080,3128

nmap -sP -PE www.target.com = down
nmap -sP --send-ip www.target.com = up
nmap -sP www.target.com = up
nmap -sP -PA21,22,23,25,53,80,135,137,139,143,443,445 www.target.com = down
