Hello All,

I've come here as a last resort. I've been messing around with this for the last few days now and can't figure out
what is going on, and why it isn't working...

I have NRPE Running on a OpenSuSE 11.4 Virtual Machine on my Laptop for testing. The VM uses a "Bridged" Connection in
order to give it it's own IP Address on the network. I definitely have the nrpe.cfg Config File configured correctly
because I've setup NRPE on a TON of other servers on the network with no problems.

FYI: I'm running NRPE in Daemon mode...

I can see in the syslog that it says, it is LISTENING on port 5666 and that it is allowing from the correct server IP.
But when I try to run "check_nrpe" command from my Nagios Server I get "Connection Refused by Host".

Here's what's in "/var/log/messages":
*I've added some test commands to the config as well. I.e. to be run with "check_nrpe -H <ip_address> -t 10 -c "test_check_command"
