scan.exe crash

Subject: scan.exe crash
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 11:08:21 -0500

Hi all,

        Yesterday, I installed Nessus on a WinXP machine and successfully
scanned a server from outside my firewall.  This morning I installed another
copy on an internal Xen virtual XP machine to scan from a different point of
view.  Each time I tried to scan, scan.exe would crash with following attempts
giving the error "Can not connect to Nessus Server!".  I then moved the install
to a virtual 2003 server and had the same results.
        I considered that there may have been a plugin update since my install
yesterday so I updated the external XP machine which worked fine yesterday.
After the plugin update, it is now doing the same thing as my internal machines.
Could the current update contain a corrupt plugin?  Is anyone else seeing this?
