Hi Max,
 
the communication between Nessusd and nessusWX is done by eth0 which is a host-only interface. The scanning is done via eth1 which is bridged.
 
I produced a type mismatch writing down the networks (I doublechecked that ;-). Actually I scanned 3 different /24 networks. Sorry for that...
 
I enabled all plugins but I will try and disable all of them.
 
thx
 
Alex

 Strange,


I have the exact same configuration (except for XP instead of 2K) and I don't have any problems doing large scans.

How do you communicate between your VMware host and Virtual machine ? I personally always setup a dedicated "host adapter" on eth1 and use that to communicate between NessusWX and nessusd. Nessusd uses eth0 to do its scan.

According to your IP addresses below, you're scanning the same network 3 times. Shouldn't they be:
192.168.1.0/24
192.168.2.0/24
192.168.3.0/24

I put .0 here because that's the standard to specify a mask. I'm not sure if nessus is flexible in this matter.

One last thing, what plugins do you have enabled ? Could one of them stop you somewhere ? Do a test by disabling all but a few plugins (no port scanners at this phase).

Hi all,

when I try to scan a subnetted network with 3  /24 subnets the scan stops
after 32 IPs. I use the latest Nessus on suse 8.0 in VMWare and NessusWX on
W2K. 
Target:
192.168.1.1/24
192.168.1.2/24
192.168.1.3/24

Max simultaneous: 16
Sec checks per host: 10
enable plugin dep: yes
safe checks: yes
optimize test: yes
Resolve unknown services: yes
Remove finished hosts from scan status view: yes

Port range: 1-65535
Port Scanners acitvated: nmap, Ping remote host, LaBrea, SNMP port Scan, SYN
Scan, tcp connect() scan

All Plugins to be tried.

I started this last night in order to be finished this morning.

I would be thankful for any suggestions

thx in advance
