only happen in one of the two cases above. IE when netmon looks
at the interface table, the interface that was discovered is not in
the table. In any case, I would take a close look at the SNMP
information being provided by the router and make sure that
the address you are using for your loopback is not used elsewhere.

I add a router using loadhosts. I can do ovobjprint on the hostname as selection name right away, and it shows all attributes just as expected. I do ovobjprint again, and its gone! I do ovobjprint on the loopback address as selection name, and it shows (but not all attributes - see below in blue).

Strange, very strange! Any thoughts?

BTW, when ovobjprint works the first time with hostname as selection name, isSNMPsupported is FALSE and SNMPAgent attribute shows as Unset(0).
