Dear Michel Thank you for your help, I was able to identify the cuplrit..I am running the latest nessus on my Ubuntu laptop. The other computer on the network are all mine.
Laptop <----------Wireless Medium-----192.168.0.0/24----->LinkSys Wireless Router (Wan Port)<--------192.168.10.024---Eth Cable--->XP + ICS The problem was with the LinkSys Wireless router, I have no fancy config on it and no firewall, however whatever host I scan behind the linksys router would turn all ports as open. I disabled routing on the router and used it as a wireless access point and pluged the cable to the ICS computer into a switch port that way my gateway and natting device became the XP with ICS. This solved the problem..it is weird though I dont know why the linksys router would do that.
