SNMP questions for 3300 Switch

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to verify some SNMP data I'm getting from a Superstack II 3300 series switch. I'm polling the value etherStatsOctets (OID=1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.4) for the port that connects my PC. This value is a counter and represents the total number of octets of Data received.

Since each octet contains 8 bits, and is therefore equal to one byte, I assume that the value polled should be the same as (or very close to) the number of bytes received as reported by Windows.

I check the value reported by windows by going to My Network Connections, and double clicking my connection. At which point a dialog box opens up with a picture and a counter.

Unfortunatley, the values polled and the value reported by windows do not match, in fact they're not even close. Does anyone have an idea why?

Secondly, is there a way to poll a value for % bandwith used for each port?

Thanks in advance.
