Have any of you tried using SNMP to monitor routers / servers from inside the Time Warner Cable Network? (Put aside the obvious security risks for the moment.)
I'm on the Time Warner Cable Network at home and I need to temporarily install What's Up Gold at home to monitor a 3640. For some reason, I can't connect. I thought that maybe it was a config issue on the router (I didn't set it up), so I tried connecting to another router where I know SNMP is configured properly and was still unable to connect. I thought maybe it was a What'sUp Gold issue, so I tried the connection with Solarwinds and was still unable to connect. Thinking it was a problem with my Windows ME desktop, I repeated the same steps with a Windows XP machine and still couldn't connect. I then configured What'sUp on a 2000 machine machine in my NOC (a completely separate ISP) to connect to the 3640 and had no problem connecting. I contacted Time Warner Cable and they swear that they're not blocking any ports at all and that 161 and 162 should get through. I contacted the ISP that serves the 3640 (in case they were blocking the cable network for some reason) and supposedly they're not blocking any ports either. Maybe I haven't had enough sleep lately, but if TW is telling the truth, I'm stumped. Any ideas on this one?
