Re: Connection to Nessus Server with NessusWX Error

["Dan Tesch" <dan.tesch () comcast net>]

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
