Paul:

I viewed the apars you told me:

IY42241: INCCORECT SNMPADDRESS OF OBJECTS LOADED INTO NETVIEW THE LOADHOSTS 
COMMAND.
This apar is about the loadhosts command which is not my case.

IY49090: MODIFY THE ORDER OF SNMP REQUESTS DURING DISCOVERY TO ENSURE THEFIRST 
IS RETRIVED FROM "SYSTEM" OF MIB INFORMATION.
This apar is not the case because I am not using alternate community names. The 
fact is that I get authentication failures.

IY49975: IPMAP NEVER ENDS THE SYNCHRONIZATION AND CORES IF GLOBAL-ACK IS 
ENABLED.
This is not the case.

Thanks Paul, but these (although fixes to the 7.1.3 version) are not really the 
problem im having. 

But, in every case, where can I download these fixes???

Thank you
