The most likely reason that the PC (Windows) does not respond to SNMP is that the SNMP service is probably not installed.

Micro$oft supplies SNMP with Windows NT and derivatives (on the OS install CD's) , but it is not installed by default - you can install it by going into the control panel -> add / remove programs -> Add/remove Windows components -> Management & Monitoring services (in XP) -> SNMP.

You will need to configure the community strings - leave the default as "public", and do not enable WRITE, unless you know how that will be used.

There are english-like equivalents for all OID's. You will have to find them by R'ing the FM.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
