Windows has a tendency to change the interface indexes when you change the IP configuration (Adding a second card would do this). You might consider monitoring by MAC address or IP address instead of interface index. Ex: You probably have Target[NetInterface]: 1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (uses interface index)
Try using this Target[NetInterface]: !##-##-##-##-##-##:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (uses the MAC address of the network card) ##-##-##-##-## is the physical address of the network card. If you are running winXP (any flavor) you would run 'IPConfig /all' from the command line and look for the Physical Address entry. -----Original Message----- From: Chiara Sannitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 2:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] MRTG on a machine with 2 ethernet cards Hi, my problem is the following: I was using mrtg on a windows xp machine to monitor different machine on the network. The configuration files were all working well. Then I had to add to the machine a second ethernet card (that was properly configured with ip, etc). Now one configuration files doesn't work any more (it gives an SNMP error), the other config files still work great. I think that the problem is that mrtg now try to access also using the second ethernet card on the machine, while it should only access through the first one. How can I set which ethernet card has to be used? Or should I do something different? Any ideas?
