We have found that in certain cases the default port (1248) is used by 
Windows for file sharing or similar.  You can check whether this is true 
on your server by running "netstat -an | findstr 1248" from a shell 
window (when the NSClient service is stopped).  If there is a LISTEN 
entry on that port, then NSClient cannot bind to it.  We have changed 
the default port we use in our customer systems to 12480 to eliminate 
this problem in general. We have some tools we've developed (installer, 
config tool, mass-update tool) to simplify configuration of the port and 
password on new systems and across multiple already-deployed systems.  I 
might be able to get the tools posted into the contrib section on the 
Nagios site -- will have to check on that.
