Connecting to server 202.71.135.196 (port 1241) using TLSv1 encrypted connection... ERROR: Cannot establish connection with 202.71.135.196 (Socket error 1813).
[ Here's something I've posted a couple of times in the past
when the same issue has arisen. ]
I don't know what error 1813 means in the Winsock API, but
here are some possible sources of error:
- Is nessusd still running?
- Is nessusd listening on port 1241 on an interface
reachable via
client? That is, are you running it as something like
"nessusd -a 127.0.0.1"? Or did you configure it to work
with
unix sockets?
- Are you using tcp_wrappers to control access to nessusd
and did
you allow access via client?
- Are there any interesting errors logged in either
messages or
nessusd.messages?
Also, while I don't think it's the cause, make sure your
server is set
up for TLS / SSL since you're using that when connecting via
NessusWX.
