Cannot connect to nessusd with Windows Nessus 3 client

Subject: Cannot connect to nessusd with Windows Nessus 3 client
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 09:29:54 -0500
Here is my situation.

I'm running nessusd v. 3.0.5 on linux
I'm unable to connect to it with the Windows nessus client v. 3.

I can connect to the nessusd from another linux box using the 2.9 client just 
fine.

Troubleshooting things I've done.
I've tried restarting the nessusd daemon on the nessusd server.
I've updated the plugins on the Windows client -- shouldn't have to since I'm 
using the plugins on the server. 

Error message on the windows client gives possible causes:
Nessus server service not running -- But it is
Nessus server service needs to be restarted -- Tried that didn't help
Nessus plugins are corrupt or not up to date -- Not true see above
Remote Nessus Serverr not running or misconfigured -- Not true see above
Remote Nessus Server credentials are incorrect -- I'm entering the right 
username and pw

Any help would be appreciated.
