Well - you did not compile the BBWin client did you/

You need the hobbit / xymon server package and a linux / unix server. If 
you wanna test this I guess you could setup a VM on your windows machine

Again - BB windows agent is a client and not a server

AFAIU you are trying to setup a system whereby you have a DMZ, and 
clients within the DMZ can send their status to a server on the DMZ 
which then forwards onto the main server OR you want a server within the 
DMZ to be able to pull the data from your clients and send them to the 
server. Is this correct? Which are you trying to achieve?
