Any access-lists blocking SNMP except certain locations??? Or an access-list
blocking SNMP from entering the interface??
I assume you have verified connectivity from home to there. It *should* work
as I was able at one time to do SNMP polling on Time Warner.

While Off-topic, what do you think about TW going to a usage based charge in
the Fall ? I called TW to complain and the cust-serv. People didn't even
know about it, but it was all over nwfusion...



Thanks

Subject: OT Again: SNMP and TimeWarner Cable [7:41196]


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?

Thanks,
Craig
