Well good. It¹s not me then. :)

As a follow up, how is it that nessus can¹t ³ping² it when I can. I can do
an ICMP ping so I would assume then that that is not how nessus is doing it.
In which case, can I change how nessus pings it?

 Does anyone else get this and does anyone know what to do about it?

 
 This is the tcpdump of the interface on the Imperva Application Firewall of
the ENTIRE nessus scan session. Clearly the nessus scan starts a port scan,
reaches the target, and gets responses back. Then it starts doing ICMP echo
requests, which after 6 tries, is when the session is ended.

Nessus can't ping the remote host. On Mac OS X, scanning through a CISCO VPN
interface is not supported, this is a known issue.
