Ron I can attempt to help get you up and running. What platform do you have MRTG running on? Linux or Windows? Do you have access to the remote router, that is, can you telnet into it? Are you certain that your community string is set to "public"?

I have learned the basics of setting it up but when I tried running it on the router in question, I got this message: SNMP Error: no response recieved SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "67.131.4.218" [67.131.4.218].161) community: "public" request ID: 794746515 PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes timeout: 2s retries: 5 backoff: 1) at C:/MRTG/bin\..\lib\mrtg2\SNMP_util.pm line 627 SNMPWALK Problem for 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 on [EMAIL PROTECTED]::::::v4only at cfgmaker line 827 WARNING: Skipping [EMAIL PROTECTED]: as no info could be retrieved I am in a unique position where I have not studied networking until now, so I am learning on the fly. From what I have been able to find, I have two conclusions: -SNMP is not turned on on the router -the community string is wrong My problem is that I don't know what to do about either of them. The router in question is located about two hours away but I'd really prefer to not drive down there for something like this, when it seems to me that I should be able to do it remotely. I just have no idea how. I apologize if this does not make sense, or if it is answered in the documentation. My problem right now is that as a learner, I have no idea of where to start. That's it from here. More to come as the plot thickens...
