You just need to select "Ping the remote host" in port scanner section. You can change ping options in plugins preferences (TCP ping, ICMP ping ...)
So enabling the TCP Ping would throw out a empty report, if the remote m/c is death. This will be really useful to save time when scanning a large network.
