Private Address Space
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the Following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
Secondly - if that's okay - then is there a firewall between them blocking the port? You say you telneted, what you do not say is that you telneted to the Xymon server on port 1984 - try it.
Try starting the client with the fully qualified name : runclient.sh --hostname="host.net.domain"
Long as the scripts you use on the client are not hardcoded to the hostname (such as uname -n), things should work.
Once it talks, you may have to adjust the bb-hosts entry to make it appear - check for ghosts then.
Other than that - tcpdump is a useful tool on the client (wireshark on Linux works nicely too) Capture your port 1984 traffic and see what its really doing.
