It is entirely possible for a host to be shown as down while the services are up. It all depends on what check you have configured for each. If the host is using a check_ping but the host blocks pings, it will appear down but all the services work just fine.

Yes tmcdonald , you was right , the firewall was blocking my ping , i disable it and the status went UP .
But i wanna know :

It would be in your configuration files with the check_command for the host or service object.
Then the commands themselves are usually in the commands.cfg
