Hi, I am installing Netview V5.0 RevB on NT4 Sp4. The installation completes
ok and everything looks ok except for netmon and snmpcollect.

There seems to be a problem with the ODBC access. If I set snmpcollect to
not use ODBC it starts up ok. This is not the real problem however. I cannot
get netmon to run. (fairly basic requirement!)

The netview logfile shows:

05/06/99 08:27:38 [trapd] The ODBC data source Tess_ds does not seem to be
configured correctly in the registry.

05/06/99 08:27:38 [trapd] Trapd: (initODBC) SQL could not connect to data
source tess.

continue, but will

05/06/99 09:53:02 [nmpolling] Failed to connect to netmon's shared memory
segment; error: The system cannot find the file specified.

05/06/99 09:53:25 [ovstatus] Done

ODBC looks like the culprit but why? I have had to reinstall NT for another
reason and the problem is still there. I have tried installing the ODBC
drivers from the netview cd - still no go. I don't want to use ODBC anyway.
How can I get netmon to start up? Am I doing (or missing) something daft?

TIA

Dave
