[mrtg] Can't create cfg file on Windows Server 2008

[Alex Carlock]

Steve,

Thanks a lot for the fast response and the ideas.  It was the ACL on the device.  It was set for only the "old" MRTG server.  After granting access to the new one, all is well.

Thanks again.

This means the SNMP query is failing.  Possible causes:

1) Incorrect address for device 10.0.0.1
2) incorrect SNMP community
3) Network problem (no route to device, cannot ping...)
4) Firewall in the way
5) Device ACL refusing SNMP query from this host

Try doing a 'ping 10.0.0.1' from a command line - if it doesnt work. test your network links, routers, firewalls.
If you're sure the address and community are correct from tests on another machine, then check device ACLs to see if this host is allowed to use that community.
