OpenSource, Nagios, 3.0.1

Hi,

I try to find a free solution for monitoring multiple servers at multiples customers sites. I installed Nagios and I want to use NSCA passive client to upload the result on a centralized server. I want to create a groups per customer to monitor each servers.

This is my current setup : OpenSuse Linux 11.0 Fully patched, Firewall Off,
Nagios 3.0.1 installed, module NSCA installed, I can telnet the port 5667 and everything seems fine.

On a Windows XP and a Windows 2003 I installed NC_NET client I follow all the instructions in the config files. ** I also try NSCLient++ same issue **

My main problem is the Nagios Server doesn't seems to receive the information from the workstation.... note : I disable the active check for each station.
 
The machines even XP or 2003 the service (FreeSpace and ClientVersion) are always in  a pending states in the Nagios interface.. they are waiting...

I can ping both ways, I can telnet the port NSCA

Does someone have a clue or an How to guide to deploy NSCA in Windows successfully ?

Does someone have another free solution I can implement more simple to do the same passive monitoring job ?

Regards,
