NSClient++ (also on sourceforge and Nagios Exchange)</div> <div> </div> <div>one of these two applications or reinstalling pNS_Client should fix the WIndows Host side of NSClient.</div> <div> </div> <div>Naturally make sure the Windows Host Firewall has the port open for incoming connections.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>As for the problem with NRPE, I personally do not use that, and do not have the experience to help, However search the nagios Users list because I know there has been plenty of posts on usage of NRPE over the past 2 years. Naturally look online and search the Nagios Documentation for additional help on this. </div> <div> </div> <div>on a side not- many people may not have read your post because of the Subject, It is best to mention the plugin that is giving you problems in the subject. </div> <div> </div> <div>Good Luck.</div> <div> </div> <div>Tony - Author of NC_NEt.</div> <div> </div> <div><br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/24/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Vignesh Kumar</b> <<a href="mailto:Vignesh.Kumar@in.flextronics.com">Vignesh.Kumar@in.flextronics.com</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div lang="EN-US" vlink="purple" link="blue"> <div> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Hi All,</span></font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"> </span></font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">I have installed NSclient tool and NRPE in windows 2000 server.
