something instead of ping.

[Hochberg, Keith]

I think this is a question more suited for your networking dept.  You
can use any tcp port with the check_tcp plugin.  You just have to know
which ports are open in your network...

	can someone tell me if there is a way to check the state of a
host with something like ping that will work on all ip hosts.  I am
unable to use ping as our routers will not allow ping to operate due to
Nachi virus filtering.
	 
	many thanks
	 
	Brad.
