Considering that you are running nessusd and NessusClient on the same machine, why not try to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1 instead of your 192.168.x.x address?


Maybe do a "lsof -i" and check if nessusd listens on port 1241 (default) or try a "telnet 127.0.0.1 1241" and check if something responds.
