Thanks John. It was a bit hard to search for this problem. The NessusWX interface actually does not allow CIDR. You can specify individual IPs, IP/Netmask, or a range with IPstart IPend. However, you did give me an idea. I will try to run a scan directly on the server, without NessusWX. Let's see what happens.

Alex,

The following site has a searchable knowledgebase for nessus:

This link:

says that the list needs to be either CIDR notation or a comma seperated
IPs.  The values can come from input file or be entered by hand into the
interface.  I usually use CIDR to check alot of machines, to get a look at
what's exposed on the network.
