[Brander, Eric]

Check the properties of SNMP on the windows machines you want to monitor.
The community strings for public and private are set there, but by default
the public one is "public".  You can run configmaker against your server
with public at server.ip.address and there is a darn good chance it will work.

I'm not a cracker, just a sys admin trying to monitor
servers, not routers.  So, if you know the answer
Alex, please tell me about the xyz part and how I
could monitor servers with it?  Is the community
keyword still valid?  If not, then what would I use
instead of the community at router.abc.xyz line to
monitor servers?
