Re: Can not scan out side of the server

I can scan using either localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the target, but I do not receive a result if I scan using the nat supplied number nor can I scan my nat using my ISP supplied address. What sort of traffic do you see leaving your nessusd host? And reaching the target(s)? Have you contacted your ISP to see if there are any issues that might prevent you from launching scans from their address space?

I can't connect my client (nessus Wx on Win2000) to the server - error : SSL connection failed . So I wanted to connect the client without encryption and used certificat but it doesn't matter. Can you help me? FYI nessus is not supported on AIX. As a wise man once said Successful compilation does not imply that the program will work properly. Again, supported and works are two different things. AIX is the only platform I'm missing, and my RS/6000 machine should be here next week! Then testing can begin. I'm helping out the OpenVAS team and I intend on getting it to work on AIX, Solaris, Gentoo, and for some odd reason, IRIX (hey, I like it). Summary: keep poking it. Read the config/failure logs and don't give up. That is the fun of it all. Randal T.
