Nmap and MacOS X

Hello

I use Nessus and Nmap for windows in my day to day work.

For the first time I encountered a "blocking" of nmap, either from windows 
or from Nessus.

The suspected system is a Titanium processor with Mac OS X installed, the 
firewall from Mac Os is up.
As the user was a former "windower" the name resolution is achieved by 
wins hence some Netbios ports are open.

The symptoms from nessus : 
 from a fresh nessus client ( all setting to default) , I launched a scan 
on this machine : 10 hours later it was still in the nmap.nasl !
I stopped the test and I got a lot of open ports in the report from 
nessus.

To make sure, I lauched Nmapwin from my station and 3 hours later Ikilled 
it  : No answer at all

I am aware that this is rather an nmap issue than a nessus one, but the 
nessus users are nmap users too.

Thanks for any help and have a nice day
