I should have mentioned that these are external scans. If I do not enable pings, Nessus finds them just fine. Some of the hosts missed with TCP ping enabled have both port 80 and 443 open. I've enabled "extended" and running a test. Can you explain what the extended option does? ----- Original Message ---- From: Michel Arboi <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 4:30:27 PM Subject: Re: Ping Option Le Tue, 13 May 2008 13:19:43 -0700 (PDT), Larry Petty <[email protected]> a écrit : > However, we are finding that hosts are not being discovered. Odd... Are you sure that your installation is correct and raw IP is working fine with Nessus? > Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do an ARP ping = no If you are scanning machines on the same physical network, ARP is useful. > Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = built-in Try "extended". It is much slower but it may work if you miss targets. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
