is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify the
sample host definition in <I>windows.cfg</I>. Change the <I>host_name</I>,
<I>alias</I>, and <I>address</I> fields to appropriate values for the Windows
box. </FONT>

<P><FONT face=Verdana size=1>Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to
the same configuration file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different
aspects of the Windows machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're
monitoring, you can simply modify the sample service definitions in
<I>windows.cfg</I>. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR></FONT><IMG
