nsclient connection refused after restart

[Dean Bishop]

I have run into similar issues.  In my case some other service was grabbing
the port that NSClient uses (1284 I think).  Grab a copy of tcpview from
sysinternals.com and see if you can determine the offender.  You may have to
change the port that NSClient uses.
 
Hope this helps,
dean

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsclient connection refused after restart
 
I have searched the nagios.org faq and looked at the mail archives back
through November 2002 and didn't find anything relating to this issue,
unless I missed which is possible.
 
I'm running nagios 1.0 on a RH 7.2 server with nsclient 1.07.1.  I have the
nsclient service running on multiple Win2k servers.  If anyone restarts one
of the Win2k servers while nagios is still running, the Win2k server will
come back up and nagios will report 'Connection refused by host'.  I will
then check the Win2k system and verify that the nsclient service is running.
If I then stop and restart the nsclient service; nagios will again start
monitoring the affected services successfully.
 
Is there a solution to this issue for the Win2k servers?
