That's not making any sense.. old machine> \\new-machine\snmptable -m ... gives the "bad" format output, same as new-machine> snmptable -m ... and new machine> \\old-machine\snmptable -m ... Is that right? > Any other ideas, or ideas on how I can track this down? A bit drastic, but you could always delete the NET-SNMP directory on the new machine & then copy it over from the old machine. Less intrusive would be to compare the directories from the two machines and copy old -> new to remove any differences. I like WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) for that, but I'm sure there's lots of different programs for that. I thought there was an snmp program option for showing which mib files were loaded in what order, but I'm not finding it now :( Some combination of snmptable -Pe -PR -Pw might give you a hint as to what's different between the two machines. Do you have a .bat file that you run to initialize the environment or is everything coming from the env. variables and/or registry? Comparing the output from "set" on the two machines might show what's different. > I am using the > output from this command in a program, and the program is crashing because > the output is different.
