    Does ping work with myPCname?

  • In addition to Keith's question, can you even ping the IP?

  • ping myPC PING myPC.somewhere.co (138.111.111.1110) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes frommyPC.somewhere.co (138.111.111.111): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms and same for ping 138.111.111.111, it's my IP's from ifconfig, edit: It's maybe due to firewall

  • well no the ports 161 are added in the firewall for udp, and even, locally it should have worked, so I have no idea, I have already uninstalled snmpd and reinstalled it.

Do you have the agent configured to respond to SNMP queries externally?

Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and see if under ACCESS CONTROL you have community and trees allowed that would apply for external access, check this for details

You now probably have rocommunity public localhost (hence localhost works) but then another directive with rocommunity communitysecret default -V systemonly, try commenting this one out.

Try adding a line with rocommunity communitystring default Then

snmpwalk -v 1 -c communitystring myPCname or myIP .1.3.6.1.2.1

Then restart snmpd

/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Maybe you have problem with the community name check that and try again with this tool snmp tool

Another possibility is that the line : agentaddress localhost:161 is in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf which causes snmpd listen only on the local address. Remove it and it will be listening on all interfaces.
