please clarify, the nagios is running on host 1 and the service is on 
host 2. The definitions are pretty straight forward, don't be shy to 
read all the docs through 3-4 times to make sure you understand.

define command{
    command name  SOMENAMEGOESHERE
    command_line    path/to/plugin -o -p -t -i -o -n -s -H 192.168.1.50
}

if in the options you put -H $HOSTADDRESS$ then it uses ip of the host 
name from the service description (which is defined in the host {} 
definition for that name), otherwise you could put the ip as shown above.

re-read all the docs over and over until you get it, sometimes I have to 
do that too...

-h
