Also:

you don't really need a webserver at all but that depends on how you want
people to look at them.  you can just click on the html or make a reference
html  by hand with a list of stats.  Most companies have an intranet with
some type of security for people viewing information just for their group, I
personally do it this way.  Except for the noc views which scroll but they
are just html pages with img tags to the gifs.

If you want it all on one machine, microsoft does have that personal
webserver program, it'll work for low usage and its free.

I am pretty new to MRTG also, but I think I've figured out the basics.  I'm
running in on NT 4.0 and have been pretty sucessful.  Here are a few of my
tips:

1)  You don't necessarily need IIS for MRTG to work.  Actually, since I was
using NT, I just shared out the directory where the web pages were created
and grabbed them from there (ok, not sophisticated, but it'll work for the
time being if you don't want to set up a web server) :)
2)  I've found that unless I use the entire path for EVERYTHING, I had
problems (i.e. rather than "perl mrtg cfgmaker blah blah" I cd to
c:\mrtg\run (I seem to have problems if I'm not even in the mrtg\run
directory???) and then type "c:\perl\bin\perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg
c:\mrtg\run\cfgmaker community at router_ip > c:\path.to.config.file.
Everything is my path also...don't know why it doesn't work.
3) As they said, make sure you edit the mrtg file in the mrtg\run folder and
change the OS to NT rather than UNIX.

Hope that helps...
Jared

I am new to MRTG, I am trying to get MRTG to run with Windows NT but having
lots of problem. Can someone give me hand. Do I need to run IIS for MRTG to
work?


Thanks in advance.
