What is the exact error you are receiving from that host in the web interface? Is it something along the lines of 100% packet loss? OR, is it something else? Please copy it here, and also a copy of your localhost.cfg, is it only your localhost and switch that are showing down? Are these your only hosts? If not, let us know, this could be a problem with the plugin or some odd configuration change / blockage that is just coming to light.

it is not the only host but it is separate from the other, primary Nagios host... this will eventually replace it but it runs solely on its own hardware (stand alone)

We need one more config file, since your localhost is under the linux-server template. Can you share that template with us as well?

You should be able to find the linux-server template section in templates.cfg, we only need it's definition not the entire file.
