[mrtg] Problem Monitoring Win NT 4.0 // SP6

Hi There,

I have tried to use MRTG (both Versions 2.9.7 and 2.9.10) on Linux to
monitor a NT4.0 // SP6 with no luck

I have read whatever FAQ etc I could find... all to no avail

SNMP appears to be working on the NT Server. MRTG can create router usage
and pinp-probe
graphs on the Linux Redhat 7.0 PC.

I seem to have sucessfully opened up the misc NT performance counters and
from any Windows
NT/9x/2000 PC running GETIF can see

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.microsoft.software.systems.os.winn
t.performance
or
.1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1

and retrieve correct information (disk space free, memory free etc.)

I can also walk

.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2
or
.1.3.6.1.2.1

and retrieve information. But

When I run MRTG it seems to be stopping within this area

e.g.

SNMP Error:
Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: noSuchName
  index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.10)
SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "x.y.w.z" [x.y.w.z].161)
                  community: "monitor"
                 request ID: 1717795992

                    timeout: 2s
                    retries: 5
                    backoff: 1)
SNMPGET Problem for ifInOctets.10 ifOutOctets.10 on monitor at x.y.w.z

WARNING: Expected a number but got
NMP Error:
Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: noSuchName
  index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.15)

		etc. etc.

Within my MRTG config file I have set the parameter
	NoMib2:yes

Thinking this might help... the result is the same?

I cannot see the values indicated above. To be clearer

Using GetIF I can determine the value for:
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.4
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.6

but not
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.10

nor
	.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.15

as they do not seem to exist?

I am running MRTG on RedHat 7.0?? I had a problem getting Ping Probe to work
with RedHAt and
had to make a couple of quick changes to the PERL script.

I have tried this on a couple of different Windows NT Server (w/ SP6 as
well) and the result
seems to be the same but will try to confirm the depth of the problem

A quick install running MRTG 2.9.10 on Windows 2000 Server gives the same
error messages. I have not tested this fully but it seems to rule out the OS
as the problem?

Any help/tips would be appreciated.
