Hello,
After long time, i was able to run Nessus and tried to scan my PC to see
if i have security holes.
When i want to start a scan, i always get this message:

These hosts could not be tested because you are not allowed to do so

I dont understand that.
Im connected to the server.

My "rules" are:

default accept
allow 80.110..and so on (my IP)

When i type my ip as target, i always get this message above. What did i
do wrong?
I followed these steps, in which im not sure, what do set in those
plugin preferences.

Any ideas?
