What does your nrpe.cfg file look like on the server, does it allow
connections from the nagios machine and are you communicating over the
same port on each side ?
Also, I've found in the past on some machines that you explicitly need
to add an entry for nrpe and the nagios server in /etc/hosts.allow.
