On each system, you have two programs. An SNMP agent, and an SNMP manager. The SNMP manager *application* will retrieve information from the SNMP agent - regardless of which box each of these are running on. So the SNMP manager application running on the XP workstation might send requests to the SNMP agent running on the same workstation, or on the news manager box. Or the SNMP manager application running on the news manager box might send requests to the SNMP agent running on the same system, or on the XP workstation. > > So accessing > from agent to manager woks and manager to agent doesnt work. You seem to be confusing "manager" (application) with "manager" (box). In each case, it's the SNMP manager *application* that retrieves information from the SNMP agent.
