Thank you Garth!

After adding the entry specified in #1 as you suggested, rebooting my PC,
everything works now!

Whew!!! I can put this mess to bed, thanks again.

Hi Nick!

Mind if I get involved?

I just got through helping another soul with the same problem you describe.

Sometimes, (MS bug-don't know why) if you install SNMP performance monitor
(specifically when you register PERMIB.MIB), the SNMP registry hive drops
references to RFC1156.  When this happens, the SysDesc and SysUpTime cannot
be read, and MRTG fails, even though SNMPUTIL.EXE will work fine.  Even
other NMS will read the private enterprise key properly.

I suggest that you start the Registry Editor (start/run/regedt32) and:

1) Check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/SNMP/Paramters/Extensio
nAgents and check that the RFC1156 entry is registered (see snmpreg.jpg).
If not there, create the key (make it the same as the others, only a
different number) and make the text the same as in the image file.

2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/RFC1156Agent/CrrentVersion
and see if it is there.  If it is, check to make sure it points to the
inetmib1.dll file (see snmpreg2.jpg)

3) Lastly, confirm that the file inetmib1.dll is in the system32 directory.

Hope this helps!
