System appears as down, but services are being monitored

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

I double-checked the syntax in the hosts.cfg of the host in question with that
which is recommended by the Nagios manual.
As far as I can tell, the settings match up. I've included an excerpt of the
hosts.cfg file with this e-mail. It is shown below:


# '<hostname>' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host template
to use

        host_name               <hostname>
        alias                   <hostname>
        address                 <ip address>
        parents                 <parent name>
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        contact_groups          nt-admins
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

The client system OS is Windows XP SP2. The client software being used with this
host is NSClient 1.06. This software 
has worked well with Nagios 1.x. One question that comes to mind is its
compatibility with Nagios 2.x. The check_nt commands
have been added to the commands.cfg definition. The Nagios server is running
version 2.6 on a Fedora Core 5 system.

The one in the fine manual:
