Have you verified you can talk to that server via SNMP?  Do a simple
snmpget to validate.  Something I inevitably always forget when I
setup a new box is to change the security settings on SNMP.  Open up
the services.msc, right click on "SMNP Service", select properties,
then go to the "Security" tab.  Make sure your community name is what
you're expecting and you have either added your nagios host to the
trusted list at the bottom, or grant all hosts.
