I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. Are you having trouble
connecting a Nessus client to a Nessus server? If so, have you
verified that the server is (1) listening on TCP port 1241, (2) on the
loopback interface (127.0.0.1), and (3) your firewall allows
connections to TCP port 1241 on the loopback interface?
