So let me re-phrase my question. The only reason I even mentioned
port=scanned was because it was the first thing my eyes locked onto when I
wrote the email. Let port-scanning out for the moment, because I don't
have the NMAP plug-in loaded. Running NessusWX from my windows client,
the only IP that seems to get a legitimate treatment from the nessus
server is my NessusWX host (I get similar results running the Tenable
client). All of the rest immediately display 100% of tests run and I get
0 holes, 0 warnings, 0 info etc. I know this isn't right because this
network has more holes than Swiss cheese.
The server is a vanilla instance of Gentoo, so while it's possible
something is filtering it "out of the box", I don't think that is the
case. The nessus.messages file is empty.
Thanks

When I scan the subnet my

but the only one that get's portscanned and has any information on is my

nessus server is located. I only get results on the server machine and
nothing else in the subnet.
Which port scanners have you enabled and how are they configured? And
what range of ports are you scanning?
What if anything appears in the nessusd.messages log file when you run a
scan?
Is there anything that might be filtering traffic to/from the Nessus
server host?
Btw, if you used the 2.2.6 ebuild, you may want to consider upgrading to
2.2.10 (if you build from source) or 2.2.9 (using emerge):
