Lets start over... :)<BR>
I guess using machine name examples would help.<BR>
<BR>
monitor is the main hobbit server - IP 172.16.225.176<BR>
28512dbtst is the client that keeps going purple. IP 172.16.225.182<BR>
<BR>
"monitor" is setup to monitor "28512dbtst".<BR>
At one point someone put the hobbit server software on "28512dbtst".<BR>
"monitor" figured out automatically that server software was running on "28512dbtst".<BR>
"28512dbtst" and "monitor" were never setup in a dual server way. They were separate except that "monitor" was monitoring "28512dbtst".<BR>
<BR>
We got the server software removed from "28512dbtst" and the client software installed.<BR>
We dropped "28512dbtst" (bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 28512dbtst") on "monitor" and let "monitor" rediscover "28512dbtst"<BR>
<BR>
Now out of 30+ servers being monitored by "monitor", "28512dbtst" is the only one that shows up purple.<BR>
Even though "28512dbtst" has the same client software as everything else and is setup to push the data to "monitor"<BR>
<BR>
I also just tried to drop "28512dbtst" and stop the client software on it and let "monitor" just ping it.<BR>
Still purple, but conn is ok:<BR>
<BR>
Fri Feb 5 15:20:44 2010 conn ok <BR>
<BR>
Service conn on 28512dbtst is OK (up)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
green 172.16.225.182 is alive (4.31 ms)<BR>
<BR>
Status unchanged in 0 hours, 4 minutes<BR>
Status message received from hobbitd<BR>

This is defined in your bb-hosts like this, no?
172.16.225.176 host-i-want-to-ping.org # conn
I can tell you that I was getting similar results when I had two hosts defined as BBDISPLAYS, and BBDISP set to 0.0.0.0
Just to recap, you have a host, 172.16.225.176, that is NOT configured to send to your xymon server, but for some reason your Xymon server is reporting it, and it is purple, is this correct?
