[mrtg] newbie mrtg problems

[Kunc, Doug]

I am rather new to mrtg, and am trying to get it set up to monitor some of
the SNMP parameters on my NT servers using the MIB's and OID's provided from
SMPT4tPC, and am running into a few problems I'm hoping someone can help me
with.  The long and the short of it is that I had mrtg installed and running
fine, but since have been uninstalling / reinstalling /reconfiguring the NT
SNMP files (perfmib.ini, MIB.bin, perfm.bat).  I have most recently modified
the perfm.bat provided with the smtp4nt.zip from SMTP4tPC to only monitor
the items loaded on my machine.  This seems to have loaded everything fine,
however I did get a minor registration error as perfm.bat ran.  I can
monitor any snmp parameter just fine using snmputil commands, however
whenever I try to do anything with mrtg I get the following error:

C:\>c:\perl\bin\perl c:\mrtg-2.8.12\run\mrtg c:\mrtg-2.8.12\run\mrtg.cfg

Here is the mrtg.cfg that is being called:

Workdir: d:\inetpub\wwwroot\mrtg

I know I am new to mrtg, but I cannot figure out where the errors are coming
from, particularly the sysUptime and sysName errors.  I have also tried
running a cfgmaker script against my machine and it failed also with the
following error:

C:\mrtg-2.8.12\run>perl cfgmaker public at 206.100.84.38 > mrtgtmp.cfg

SNMPGET Problem for sysDescr sysContact sysName sysLocation ifNumber
sysObjectID
 on public at 206.100.84.38

from my untrained eye it looks almost like the SNMP parameters on my machine
are not registered correctly, but I am not sure.  Anyone with a better idea
of what I might be doing wrong???

thanks in advance, and sorry this was so long.
