Knoppix 5.0 (Nessus) on hp nc6220

Good Day. I recently got the iso image of 5.0 and it works perfectly on my hp nc6220. Unfortunately, when I try to launch Nessus I recieve the error ... cannot connect to localhost when I user the id knoppix and password knoppix. I tried lauching the app per the menu...no good. I tried via command nessusd & nessus. Again no good. I also changed local host to 127.0.0.1. Nothing there....anyone have any ideas?

Also, if anyone has instructions on how to get the "internal" wireless card to work with Kismet I would be interested. I can only get the Cisco card going.

Cheers, Taz
