What OS is your client running, and what agent are you running on the client machine? Do you have a firewall running on the client machine?

Did you follow a guide on the client machine to install NRPE? If so what guide did you follow and please link us to it.

Yes, he's very knowledgeable. Lots of good guides at that site.

One thing to be aware of is that if you installed from source, configuration files will be in /usr/local/nagios. If you installed from a package, they are sometimes in /etc/nagios. Make sure you use the proper path in your xinetd config file (/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe) or else the connection won't work.
