This HAS to be a common problem.  I tried several different OpenVAS 
installations including the Virtual Box Appliance.  I also installed myself 
under Ubuntu.  Computers are on my local network and I am using the local ip 
address.  I have them set to assume to be alive.  When I scan the only result 
is tracert.  I can’t FIND an error section of the report to check - so I assume 
there are no errors.  I tried just turing off the windows firewall even on some 
machines to see if it would detect SOMETHING - but nothing.  I am not 
installing the SAMBA client - I just want to check for external vulnerabilities 
and I know certain ports are open yet non are reported in the open ports.  Only 
tracert.

So what’s the trick to scanning Windows machines?

I scanned a linux box and got good results  - in that it returned open ports 
etc.
