When i scan my own computer with nessus, the scan report that pops up in the end of a scan is completely empty.
I don't really know where i could have made a mistake.

Disable the "ping the remote computer" option,
the default behaviour is that if a ping is sent, and no response is recieved, then nessus gives up on that host.

I am afraid thats not it.
You can ping my localhost.
That nessus option is disabled.
Even if i want to include dead hosts, mine still doesn't apear.
Nessus first does the portscan, then the attack, then shows an empty report.
