Ping works but check_ping doesnt

[Oliver Marshall]

I have a server, which is running on the local network with Nagios. I
can ping it from the nagios box at the ssh prompt, but the
check-host-alive for that server is showing it as down. All the other
local servers are fine.

My check-host-alive command reads;

define  command {
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
        }

On the Host detail screen on the nagios web interface, it says that the
host status is "DOWN" and the host output is "No Output".

Any ideas why I would be able to ping a box from the nagios server, but
not get a positive result from the check-host-alive test ?
