NSClient++ Help (#1) - Connection refused (#47) - Message List

I'm having a problem with a XP Pro machine; when trying to perform a check from a Fedora 7 box I get the following message:

[root@kronos libexec]# ./check_nt -H192.168.16.115 -vUPTIME -spassword Connection refused could not fetch information from server

I've tried and tried to figure out where I have gone wrong, but so far, no luck.

XP Pro config file listed below.

; myotherfile.ini ; real.ini

The service is installed and running ok, no Windows firewall present... but strangely I see no open port (via netstat -a).

Fedora box is running nagios plugins 1.4.7

Any ideas?
