Agent says Success but no results in Dashboard

[Snowman]

Hi (Newbie who has tried the documentation but now hitting a wall)

Trialing the Zabbix application (vmware) v 1.8.9 - Downloaded, up and running, and can login etc.

Followed the http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...tion/appliance guide and opened up the inbound ports so agents can in theory push information in.

Nmap from remote machine and a telnet confirms port 10051 is open.

Install Windows Zabbix agent on Win 7 x64 machine.
Agent config file run with -c filelocation

LogFile=D:\******\ZabbixClientAgent\zabbix_agentd. log
Server=192.168.***.***
ServerPort=10051
DebugLevel=4
RefreshActiveChecks=60
DisablePassive=1

*** obviously replace real data.

Set up matching host with windows template, IP correct and hostname correct as well.

Run it all:

Log file says:

... blah blah

and it reports SUCCESS on communication of data

But all I get in Dashboard is .... is unreachable.

I'm trying to set it up so I push all data - makes firewall rules for a live deployment a lot easier.

Anyone got any clues to why the Dashboard isn't getting the data - or alternatively a hint as to what to check next?

Thanks in advance

but the items in the template - are they active (see "Type" field in items) ?
