Ah :) Welcome to where I was 1.5 years ago when I just started with  
Nagios :) It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who made that  
mistake.

As Andy has pointed out you will need to make use of additional  
plugins and/or software to perform checks on remote systems. There's  
a rather large selection of tools you can choose from, for both  
Windows and UNIX. I've made a comparison of both OSes and their  
client software on my website.

Cheers and good luck!
