I don't seem to be able to replicate this using the client included  
with Nessus Windows 3.2.1. Would you mind upgrading to that and seeing  
if it resolves the issue? If not, send me a screenshot along with some  
more details about how to reproduce the issue and I'll forward it to  
the developers.

No, if either test fails, the host will be marked as dead.

No, marking a host as dead prevents Nessus from launching further  
plugins against it.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

The PPP / PPTP interface issue is mentioned in the 3.2 Installation  
Guide (look for it at http://www.nessus.org/documentation/), as is the  
inability to do a TCP Connect scan using Nessus Windows (because of  
limitations in the Windows TCP/IP stack).
