Linux running Cacti, XP/2003 to be monitored (Howto)

[fragbait]

Just got Cacti monitoring an XP PC.
Cacti is running on a Linux Box (CentOS 4.3)

To install the SNMP service
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

Open Windows Components wizard.
To open the Windows Components Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
# In Components, click Management and Monitoring Tools (but do not select or clear its check box), and then click Details.
# Select the Simple Network Management Protocol check box, and click OK.
# Click Next.
# You will be asked for the original installation CD
# Provide this and continue.
# When Finished Click on Finished.
# Close Add Remove Programes
SNMP starts automatically after installation.

This was all I needed to do to be able to have SNMP working.
I have a Linux Server running Cacti, getting the snmp data from a Windows

To get around the Windows defalt firewall I ran this at a command line....
netsh firewall add portopening all 161:162 snmp enable custom xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 is the ip address of my Linux Server doing the Cacti/SNMP monitoring
