Inaki,

  Do you have any "Negative Entries" in your seed file?
  Here is an example of a negative entry:

        !@oid 0

  Do you have any networks defined in your seed file?
  Example:

        192.168.1.*

  The above will search for nodes contained on the
  192.168.1 subnet.

  I am running NV 7.1.3 on Windows 2000.  The only map that I have is 
the default one (root, IP Internet).  
  I can ping the hosts specified on the seed file, and NV does not 
discover them.  However there can be some filtering that will not allow 
SNMP traffic to go from NV to those hosts (I will change soon) but I 
thought the discovery is based on ICMP and if the host does not reply 
to SNMP queries at least a box without additional info should appear.

Thanks
Inaki
