Sounds to me like SNMP is not running or not accessible to NetView. Make sure you check the section in the release notes about changes that need to be made to the snmpd.conf file to make it compatibl
Discovery is netmon's job. Is netmon running? Any errors noted in the netmon.trace file? Are you sure that the snmp read community name for the box matches the default community name in xnmsnmpconf?
Ok, what next. The command 'nvstat' shows netmon is running. I can talk with the local and remote snmp daemons using snmpwalk -v 1 localhost public system It appears that discovery is still not worki
