[mrtg] Re: snmpget Problem

First thing you need to do is to confirm if snmp is working in general. I
find the easiest way is by walking the 'system' oids (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1). I
usually try referencing the OID by name (to prove that the MIBs are being
referenced) and if that fails, by OID. If this doesnt work, then you have a
basic 'snmp just isnt working' problem. I think you mentioned that this is
working, but I cant remember.

The only time I have ever seen this happen is when there is 3rd-party
software which uses SNMP, such as Compaq's Insight Agents etc. Would suggest
stopping the SNMP service, and then only restarting SNMP. Leave all the
other services that stopped at the same time alone and test with just SNMP
running.

Next, what snmp utility are you using to do the queries?? I would suggest
SNMPUTIL from the resource kit, as I know that can read the Win2k MIBs. Is
this server running the same service pack as the ones that work?? Has this
one had a new network card installed etc?? Have you reapplied the SP??

Compare the modifydate/version/bytesize of the system32/hostmib.dll and
system32/hostmib.mib as these two are the files that seem to specifically
handle th .25 oid. If you are going to recopy from another server, then stop
the snmp service, rename the DLL's/MIB's and then copy the new ones across.
