What is this server?  If this is your Xymon server, then what we have here
is a failure to communicate.  Given that there was a timeout (rather than a
rejected connection) I suspect a firewall or packet filter is dropping the
packets, or perhaps a routing problem.  Try to telnet to this IP address
from your Xymon server, and if that doesn't work, you know it's unlikely to
be a Xymon problem.

Aside from that, I'm confused.  Why would Xymon modify the hosts.cfg file?
Isn't that supposed to be edited by a human?
