Hi Sharad

First thing, are you sure your nagios is listening on port 80? 

Reason is, this is typically used by HTTP and if you have a HTTP server 
listening on port 80, I would not be surprised to see a socket timeout 
exception as nagios expects a initialisation vector to be sent back to it on 
connection and HTTP server wont send that obviously

To test if you have an HTTP server running on that port, open a browser and 
type URL

http://<ip you configured for nagios>

If you get a web page or something like that sent back, then you have a HTTP 
server running on that port

Thanks for the quick answer.If I use port 5667 also I am getting the same 
error. I have a VMware server and the ip for which is 10.0.200.120 and the port 
for the same is 5667. IP of the system where the vmware is installed is 
10.0.200.221. So In the Porgram set up my NagiosSettingsBuilder has ip 
10.0.200.120 and the MessagePayloadBuilder has ip 10.0.200.221.

Please let me know if this configuration is correct or not.

Can you check this document 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/misc/NSCA_Setup.pdf

and go through steps to make sure you have a properly setup NSCA daemon on 
10.0.200.120

Otherwise try following from command line

telnet 10.0.200.120 5667 

You should see following with a load of random chars returned. If not, you 
either dont have NSCA running or something else running on that port

Trying 127.0.0.1... 
Connected to localhost.
