And dont forget, edit you nrpe config and allow TCP_INCOMING port 5666 (default) :

root@titik [~]# vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
server_port=5666 (default)
server_address=a.b.c.d
allowed_hosts=v.w.x.y

Test from Nagios Server :
[nagios@v.w.x.y ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H a.b.c.d
NRPE v2.12

Done …
