What do you see in your nessusd.messages logfile when you try to scan 
this host? Something to the effect that the remote host is dead? If 
that's the case, you could try either disabling all the plugin 
preferences associated with "Ping the  remote host" plugin or finding an 
open port on the device and make sure it's included in the preference 
"TCP ping destination port(s)".
