snmp & NNM

[Majorbln]

I'm installing NNM 6.31 (with current patch) on a 2000 server. I'm trying to monitor some Win2000 servers. I've configured them with the correct snmp string via the services menu, stopped/restarted the services, booted the machines, etc.

When my NNM box attempts to contact a 2000 server via SNMP, I get a "nosuchname" error. If I associate the wrong snmp string with a server via the SNMP config box, I get a "timeout" error instead.

When I run 'Test IP, TCP /SNMP" under Faults, the error message I specifically get is:
SNMP Server_name ERROR: Operation complete successfully

I there something special about the SNMP agent I should be aware of?

I've looked through the doc's I've gotten off HP web site and don't see anything about configuring a loop back address to receive traps. Can you clarify?

Thanks in advance for the help, BTW.
