?? Not sure if NT is anything like UNIX, but if you check into the file
''SNMP_util.pm'' you will see some of the stuff to decode the MIB address.

             (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0)
         'iso' => '1',
         'org' => '1.3',
         'dod' => '1.3.6',
    'internet' => '1.3.6.1',
        'mgmt' => '1.3.6.1.2',
       'mib-2' => '1.3.6.1.2.1',
      'system' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.1',
    'sysDescr' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0',

i.e.
     1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
resolves to
     iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr


So it does 'resolve' ... (shrug shoulders) maybe there path is wrong?


Not sure... I am still trying to figure out MRTG myself... But I do know
how to look up the mib, and it does resolve...
