Inability to Run updateplugins.pl Script

Subject: Inability to Run updateplugins.pl Script
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 10:52:11 -0400
Greetings:

I am unable to run the updateplugins.pl scrip successfully:

root@artorius scanner]# ./updateplugins.pl -v
[5878] os_send(0) failed -- Socket operation on non-socket
[5878] plug_set_key:internal_send(0)['3 /tmp/ConnectTimeout/TCP/443=1;
']: Socket operation on non-socket
Could not open connection to plugins.nessus.org - Socket operation on 
non-socket
Could not retrieve the plugins MD5
Aborting
list-sessions only requires -q host port user pass
list-sessions only requires -q host port user pass

Running a script with the Perl Debugger, I was able to ascertain that the 
userid, password, etc.
are correct. However I am able to download an all-2.0.tar.gz file using 
the URL:
http://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?f=all-2.0.tar.gz&u=b4be96c6bd080bce5997f1657bf9848f&p=5b1c4849c67f8703319b6af98ebb03ff

I am behind a firewall, but am not blocking outgoing to either the new or 
old plugins.nessus.org
IP address, but my host 172.16.0.0 IP address is being NAT'ed to a 
routable 152.16 address.
Do I need to modify the nessus-fetch.rc file? If I do, what do I need to 
modify?

What else can I look at?

Thanks in advance,
Walter G. Aiello
