started).  Or I enable too many plugins that im not concerned with  
just to get the scan to work.

What is the correct plugins I need enabled to just do a ping sweep  
and port scan?

You'd just need to enable the port scanner you wish to use  
(preferably, Nessus TCP Connect() scanner, plugin#10335) and it will  
automatically enable ping.

How are you configuring your scan ? (ie: which client are you using ?)
