We did configure the proxy, which seems pretty straight forward .. I'll double check and let you know. Really appreciate the prompt help :)

Good news :)
You were right, it was the machine that wasn't responding. Once I re-configured the proxy, I was able to get what I needed!

One more final question, is there a document that describes how to manage Groups within Nagios so I can learn how to group services and hosts properly?

Thank you for all of your help, you've been most helpful.

Group management is really more of an art than a science. This document will describe *how* to create and manage objects/groups:

But the *why* is up to you. Some people like to use them for contact management whereas I use them only for display purposes and never configuration.
