Summary: Cannot map "tcp" to protocol number

Initial Comment:
after installing the NSClient and configuring the
Service, I get that error message: "Cannot map "tcp" to
protocol number"
I'm using the default Port 1248.
Can anybody help me please?!
The documentation for the plugin sucks realy.... and I
can't find any other documentation or help on the web :-(

Thanks in advanced

The problem is that a nice port number like "1248" is used
by a few applications. It was a bad choice for a default.
Microsoft Exchange uses it, something called "hermes" uses
it, and possible AppleTalk too.

You need to change the port number by editing the registry.
See \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSClient

We (as Nagios) should probably consider changing the default
port number. Port 2151 looks free.

Dear Diamond link,

Firstly, sorry for the slow response; thanks for your patience.

A recent question on Nag users about this matter was caused
by a bad libc (IIRC).
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/24992/match=++map+protocol

Is this any help ?

If not, is tcp in /etc/protocols ?

HTH,

Yours sincerely.

Is this still an issue with 1.3.0 final release? Has it been tested 
and confirmed as still being a problem with CVS version?

where are you getting the error? on the windows machine or
on the unix machine?

What versions are you running?
