Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report in xymon. It is quite possible
that your Windows server uses a hostname different from what you have in
hosts.cfg (e.g. with/without domain name).

If the server is not listed in the ghost clients report, then the client
is not sending any data to Xymon. Could be all sorts of problems - wrong
configuration, network issues, firewall, ...
