Hello, everyone.

Until recently, I had SuSE 8.0 on my aging Compaq laptop, and have been
running Nessus 1.2.x or 1.3.x on it for about a year, with a great deal
of success.  I recently blew away the old hard drive, and have now
installed SuSE 9.0.  With this new version, I thought I'd update Nessus
while I was at it.

First, I pulled down the 2.0.9 installer script, ran it, satisfied a few
missing dependencies, ran it again and everything seemed to go smoothly.
 nessusd starts, and the GUI connects just fine.  However, when I run
the scan, only one or two hosts are discovered on the local segment. 
The localhost always seems to be discovered, but all others are entirely
hit and miss.

So I uninstalled 2.0.9 and installed 2.0.7 from the SuSE 9.0 CDs.  This
version exhibits the exact same behaviour.  

Anyone know what might be wrong ?  The hardware is the same as it always
was (Compaq Armada 7800 w/Intel PCMCIA NIC) so I can only assume it is a
problem with the software.  We have some quarterly scans coming up, so I
really need to get this working.

Thanks,
Stuart.
