Here's a repost of a good answer on this topic. FYI the retry and timout
are configured in
Options...SNMP

Subject: Answer to Netmon Polling Question
Here's the new scoop for v5.1:
Given: Timeout=2, Retry=5
Initial Ping
Wait 2 seconds, ping
wait (2+1)=3 seconds, ping again
wait ((2+1)+1)=4, ping again
wait 2 seconds, ping last time
Total time (wasted) = 11 seconds
The scenario is:
Initial ping,
Wait time out value, ping
Wait time out value plus 1, ping
Keep waiting and adding 1, ping
Last timeout will be original timeout
Total number of pings sent will be the "Retry value"
Retry of zero will be interpreted as "one ping only" (wasn't that a line
from Red October).

Does anyone know how to change the amount of time
NetView waits for a return ping before determining
whether an outage exists?
Thanks
