Problem with false status

[lmcilwain]

Hello all,

I am new to installing nagios and I am having a common problem that I 
can't seem to solve.

Right now I have configured nagios to monitor a machine to check and 
see if it is up or down using ping.  Nagios has noticed that the 
particular machine was done when I did a reboot to test to see if the 
notification was working.  That worked with no problems.  However...  
Now that the machine is back up and running, nagios is still saying 
that this machine is down.  If I look at the web interface it says that 
its down and I am getting a page every 2 hours letting me know that the 
machine is still down.  I can get the machine that it is monitoring 
with no problems and even the machine that nagios is running on can get 
to this machine.

I checked the FAQ on nagios.org and it told me to "Make sure that the 
host check command in your host definition is configured correctly."  
Unfortunately I don't know which file they are talking about.  I 
checked the hosts.cfg file and it seems to be fine (from what I can 
tell).  Can anyone give me a better idea of what I am looking for and 
how to solve this?

Thanks,
