Reboot. If that doesn't work, call Support.

If my memory serves me, that would mean that netmon is trying to open the socket reserved for him in <windows_path>/etc/services, and Windows won't do it, giving him a bad return code. So netmon cannot communicate with anyone.

How do you know your SNMP works fine?
