Weird NSClient connectivity issues

[David Jacobson]

Hi There,

I have one particular Windows server running NSClient that I can connect
to on 1248/tcp 1 out of 5 times (roughly).  So the service constantly
flaps and none of the check results have ever gone through.

On first thought, I assumed there may be another service using the port
from time to time, but after further investigation I noticed I can
connect to the server from other hosts perfectly besides the actual
server that monitors the system.  I have also somewhat ruled out
networking issues as PING is extremely quick and passes through
immediately from the Nagios box, anyone have a similar issue or know
where I can start looking to debug this?

Thanks in advance.
