I had the same trouble once and I did a reboot of my Linux box (Debian almost woody and nagios latest stable branch – no CVS). I think I had this problem because at that time I was editing my config files a lot (and nagios was running meanwhile). /etc/init.d/nagios restart wasn’t smart enough to cope with these changes it seems…. A reboot of the box cleared all my mess. It seems that a network restart was a smarter solution. By the way, I have no idea of what is causing this behaviour. Regards (to the list as well).

I have to verify the host is up by pinging it from another computer. When I ssh into the Nagios box, I try to ping the host but Linux/Nagios thinks its unreachable (times out). I have to restart the network (/etc/init.d/./network restart) in order for it to be able to ping the host again (this will immediately trigger a host recovery notification). Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this? I don't think I have the firewall enabled. Thanks for any help. I am a newbie to the list, so I am sorry if I used the it incorrectly.
