Your network setup is the opposite
of mine (eth0 = bridged and eth1=host). I don't know which interface
nessusd will use by default. This "might" be part of the problem.
You may want to sniff the traffic to see which interface nessusd is
using for its scan and/or swap your network interfaces to have eth0
bridged.

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

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
Alex
