I have a fresh XP install, downloaded the latest windows nessus, and did
the plugin update during install.
Without changing any options, I simply select to scan the local host, with
all plugins except dangerous enabled. I scan from the local host. I get
the following popup: (I also tried scanning a remote host with same
effect)
title: scan
Can not connect to the Nessus Server
Possible causes
Nessus Server service is not running
Nessus Server service needs to be restarted
Nessus plugins are corrupt or not up to date
Remote Nessus Server not running or misconfigured
Remote Nessus Server credentials are incorret
1: Verified -- it is running
2: Restarted -- still fails
3: Updated today... so... ?
4; Local, not remote
5: Local, not remote

It sounds like Jason's issue is connectivity whether it be firewall

No, I'm connecting to localhost for the scan engine. New installs today
were
broken immediately. Install which worked fine yesterday broke after
updating
plugins today.
