Hi,

I finally installed XymonPSClient in following the readme. The logfile 
is generated in c:\windows\temp. But I can't see anything sent to xymon 
server. The following command :
xymonsend "ping" "xymonserver"
reports me the xymon version running on server. But nothing else. The 
windows client is defined in bb-hosts file. All I can see is "conn", 
"info" and "trends".

Any idea ? I'm new to windows 7 (home premium), and don't understand 
everything about how it works (or how it doesn't)
