By way of further explanation of my issue:
I have a linux-based computer with a firewall.  This computer does not respond 
to "pings".  If I run a scan with the "Full and very deep" config, the scan 
takes seconds and
returns no results.  If I do a port scan with nmap (from my OpenVAS computer) 
and the -Pn parameter (treat all hosts as online), it finds several ports 
open...verified by the system owner.
I have cloned the "Full and very deep" config and tried to modify the port 
scanner section "launch nmap for network scanning" and enable "treat all hosts 
as online", but still have no success
scanning and getting some results.
Help appreciated!

Sorry for the ignorant question.  I am looking for the right scan config 
setting so that all hosts are treated as live.
Direction appreciated.
