Hello,

I am trying to connect a NessusWX client, on a Win2K3 server to a
Nessus server that is installed on a Fedora Core 3 server; I have no
firewall between the two or an IDS agent or IPChains on the Fedora
server.
When I try to connect I have a user created and can connect using that
user on the Ferdora server, where Nessus is installed so I know it
works and the user and pass are correct. When trying to connect from
the client, having the correct port and IP added, I get a "could not
establish a connection with server", I can ping from one server to the
other so it can see the other server.

So I ran Ethereal on the Fedora box, I saw the connection attempt was
listed but all that was listed was a few TCP Syn packets and ICMP
stating  "Destination unreachable (Host administratively prohibited)"
The user I set up was not limited to any IP ranges either.

Also, I can't telnet to port 1241 from the Win2K server to the Fedora
server even though the Fedora server is listening on that port.
What could keep these two from connection?
I have searched the web but I only find one guys response on several
web pages but is no help.

Hi, Do you have iptables perhaps on the Fedora box? Run the following command on the Fedora box `which iptables` -nvL |grep 1241 -- - Josh



Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you very much!
