I have a similar issue . Nessus is not able to detect tcp port 443 open on a
Nokia firewall.
Although I can connect it to through browser or when I do a telnet on that
destination IP using port 443.
I am using command line nessus 3.0.2( Fedora Core 4) .
Generated .nessusrc file by exporting the configuration from Nessus windows
client .
- I have disabled ping the host option
- Default is chosen for port range
-In port scanners only Nessus TCP scanner is enabled.

Im using Suse 10 and the latest Nessus and NessusClient from the
website. I normally give the NessusClient a range of IP's to scan and
it never really comes back with much info, only some ports but no
vulnerbilities. I've been using older version of Nessus for yesrs with
no problems. I have tried many different combinations in NessusClient
but the results are nearly always the same.
I think first you need to identify where the problem is, and I'd start
with the configuration of your port scanner(s). Which port scanners
specifically have you tried? How do you have them configured? What port
range?
Alternatively, try running a scan against a couple of targets that you
know to have some vulnerabilities. Choose plugin #10335 (the Nessus TCP
scanner) as your scanner, "extended" as the port range, and TCP SYN
scans (unless you're behind a firewall) for the scanning technique. Does
this produce any results when you run the scan?
Btw, you may also want to think about attending one of the training
classes that Tenable is now offering:
