HI Toto,

I've even tried what you suggested.....but when i run: ./check_nrpe -H 
<host> -c check_cmd

i get a connection refused :-(

i'm even running the nsclient++ on the remote windows server as a local 
admin!

here's a sample of the important bits out of my NSC.ini file:

FileLogger.dll
;CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
NSClientListener.dll
NRPEListener.dll
;SysTray.dll
;CheckEventLog.dll
;CheckHelpers.dll

;# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
allowed_hosts=<i have put the ip address of the nagios server here>

[NSClient]
;# NSCLIENT PORT NUMBER
;  This is the port the NSClientListener.dll will listen to.
port=12489

[NRPE]
;# NRPE PORT NUMBER
;  This is the port the NRPEListener.dll will listen to.
port=5666

[NRPE Handlers]
command[check_cmd]=D:\hello.cmd


any suggestions on what im doing wrong???
