Dear Michel
Thank you for your help, I was able to identify the cuplrit..I am running
the latest nessus on my Ubuntu laptop. The other computer on the network are
all mine.
Laptop <----------Wireless Medium-----192.168.0.0/24----->LinkSys Wireless
Router (Wan Port)<--------192.168.10.024---Eth Cable--->XP + ICS
The problem was with the LinkSys Wireless router, I have no fancy config on
it and no firewall, however whatever host I scan behind the linksys router
would turn all ports as open. I disabled routing on the router and used it
as a wireless access point and pluged the cable to the ICS computer into a
switch port that way my gateway and natting device became the XP with ICS.
This solved the problem..it is weird though I dont know why the linksys
router would do that.
Thx

I tried the netstat scanner ..
There is no way that netstat can report all ports open, unless you
found a very odd bug (you'd be the first to see it).
However, if you select multiple port scanners, the results are
_merged_. If a portscanner is confused and reports all ports as open,
then the other scanners are useless.
Disable all scanners but nessus_tcp_scanner, and run Nessus against
127.0.0.1 (localhost). That way, we'll see if it is a mysterious bug or
not.
the nessus tcp scanner and I tried multiple hosts with the same results.
I think there is a Labrea or some facetious IPS on your network.
If the targets are on the same physical network, you can check who
sends the packets by sniffing the network traffic: look at the Ethernet
addresses.
By the way, when you scan a whole network, do you find all IP up or
only some of them?
You did not give any information on your configuration: OS, Nessus
version, etc.
