Melanie,

$HOSTADDRESS$ is not used in the service definition (it uses host_name 
or hostgroup_name) so I would write:

In services.cfg:
define  service {
        use                             generic-service     
        host_name                       jupiter               <--- I changed this line
        service_description             snmp check
        check_command                   check_snmp_win!snmp   <--- and this line
        }
