<div><br>Usually a connection refused is due to one of several reasons</div>
<div>1) a firewall rejects the request</div>
<div>2) The client agent is not running on the requested port (nsclient is not turned on)</div>
<div>3) Client agent is rejecting the request (this is not typical)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>things to check-</div>
<div>is nsclient running? (did you start it? has it stoped?)</div>
<div>What port is it using, </div>
<div>netstat -a (may help to verify)</div>
<div>what port are you checking via check_nt?</div>
<div>check_nt and NSCLIENT have a default password of 'None' as opposed to no password.</div>
<div>check event log for errors (just in case it caught anything)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>you can always try using a different windows agent, NC_Net installs easily, NSClinetrt++ is another alternative agent to use. This step should not be necessary since your issue is probably something simple that was overlooked.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good luck,</div>
