Summary: Cannot map "tcp" to protocol number

Initial Comment:
after installing the NSClient and configuring the
Service, I get that error message: "Cannot map "tcp" to
protocol number"
I'm using the default Port 1248.
Can anybody help me please?!
The documentation for the plugin sucks realy.... and I
can't find any other documentation or help on the web :-(

Thanks in advanced

After consulting with the client service authors, we decided
it was best to leave the default port at 1248 and add a note
to check_nt giving a user a hint to change it if they see
this error message.  Closing this bug.  - Harper

I sent a request to the authors of nc_net and nsclient++ to
change their default ports to 2151.  I'm pessimistic we can
get nsclient to change it's port since it's not been
maintained for some time, but at least we could make it work
with the other two.  If we can get it changed, I'll update
check_nt and add a help message about the default not
matching nsclient any more.  This is partly to encourage use
of the other projects since nsclient is old.  If anyone has
a better idea, let's hear that as well.
Best,
- Harper

The problem is that a nice port number like "1248" is used
by a few applications. It was a bad choice for a default.
Microsoft Exchange uses it, something called "hermes" uses
it, and possible AppleTalk too.

You need to change the port number by editing the registry.
See \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSClient

We (as Nagios) should probably consider changing the default
port number. Port 2151 looks free.

Dear Diamond link,

Firstly, sorry for the slow response; thanks for your patience.

A recent question on Nag users about this matter was caused
by a bad libc (IIRC).
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/24992/match=++map+protocol

Is this any help ?

If not, is tcp in /etc/protocols ?

HTH,

Yours sincerely.

Is this still an issue with 1.3.0 final release? Has it been tested 
and confirmed as still being a problem with CVS version?

where are you getting the error? on the windows machine or
on the unix machine?

What versions are you running?
