[dominic_80]

hi,
i want to monitor windowsXP host, i already installed snmp for windowsXP and startup the service.but now,cacti can't monitor windowsXP host.
it 's successful monitor linux host, i am sure the cacti work well!

error following:

192.168.0.11 (192.168.0.11)
SNMP Information
SNMP error

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.0.11 if
Timeout: No Response from 192.168.0.11

i just already open the port of 161 in windowsXP and closed firewall,but prompt the above error.

i appreciate for anyboby's help.

1) Verify that you have a community string specified on the agent and that it accepts requests from all hosts. Under services, you will go to the SNMP Services and goto properties.

2) Try the following command: snmpwalk -v 1 -c <your_community> <your_hostname>

3) If that does not work, turn off your firewall(s) and try again.

4) If that does not work, I suppose that I would suggest a Japaneese death ritual. It's slow, very painful, and I just don't understand why they ever did that.

That problem isn't on cacti. Use the default "Windows 2000/XP Host" Host-Template or use SNMP Version 1. Try number 2) of Witness.

They believe that they useless like somone who use snmp version 2 without an understanding on snmp.

Here you go. Please install net-snmp on the host that is having problems. Then from the command line on that host:

snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost

Hey Dominic, don't worry.

Do an "snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.0.11" on your linux machine and post the results. If you get no results or and error like output then check if the permission of the windows snmp service is right. You have to allow that the linux machine can do snmp querys on the windows machine.
