Hi Girish,
If you scan your gateway with Nessus, then you are testing the open
ports and services of your gateway/firewall/IPS, not how well it is
blocking attacks and probes.
You should target a system behind your firewall or gateway and compare
this to results of an internal scan of the same system.
Please see this blog entry which also covers NAT issues for more
information:
