Trapd doesn't care a whit about community names, so they don't matter in your traps.
But snmpwalk and other such SNMP query commands do.
You have the option of specifying the community name to use in the snmpwalk command, "-c community_string". If you try that with your new community name does it work? If not, then you might want to stop and restart the SNMP service or just reboot the box to make sure it takes your changes

Sorry Guys,
It was my mistake.. Had enabled for snmp request from localhost only.. This is solved. But I'm having same problem from XP. Any ideas why?

Hi,
This is something wierd. I have setup new Win2003 server and configured SNMP settings in security and traps as well with custom community string. When i start & stop SNMP service, i get traps in Netview but when i do snmpwalk from Netview server, it just times out. i have checked in xnmsnmpconf -resolve hostname and it gives right name and community string. But other 2003 server work fine. Am i missing something here.
Many Thanks in Advance.
Larry
