Re: Connection to Nessus Server with NessusWX Error

Are you running nessusd -D? It sounds like the Fedora box isn't listening on 1241. Try connecting to localhost with the client on the Fedora box to rule out connectivity
issues. Hello, I am trying to connect a NessusWX client to a Nessus server that is installed on a Fedora Core 3 server; I have no firewall between the two or an IDS agent or IPChains on the Fedora server. When I try to connect I have a user created and can connect using that user on the Ferdora server, where Nessus is installed so I know it works and the user and pass are correct. When trying to connect from the client, having the correct port and IP added, I get a "could not establish a connection with server", I can ping from one server to the other so it can see the other server. So I ran Ethereal on the Fedora box, I saw the connection attempt was listed but all that was listed was a few TCP Syn packets and ICMP stating "Destination unreachable (Host administratively prohibited)" The user I set up was not limited to any IP ranges either. Also, I can't telnet to port 1241 from the Win2K server to the Fedora server even though the Fedora server is listening on that port. What could keep these two from connection? I have searched the web but I only find one guys response on several web pages but is no help. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much!Tony
