Thanks for the suggestions. This is what I found.
1) Ran snmpCollect 'ipaddress'. Response: sent collection configuration
check event for 'ipaddress'.
Ran tail snmpCol.trace. Received: Tue Mar 28 02:15:53 2000 : Beginning data
collection...Tue Mar 28 08:53:51 2000 : Next object after diskutil
(.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.4.2.1.2) is not supported by agent on
167.131.30.2.
Use snmpwalk or MIB browser to verify the object exists on this
node.
2) Ran snmpwalk 'ipaddress'. ???????????????????
3) Ran snmpCollect 'ipaddress'. Response: sent collection configuration
check event for 'ipaddress'.
4) Object information matches the description in the seedfile, nslookup,
named.rev all show correct description and addresses for sites. However ALL
site addresses are missing out of my etc/hosts file for an unknown reason.
5) Walked the MIB, queried and received:
locIfInBitsSec
1:0 - Serial 0 - Admin down
2:580000 - Serial 1 - Active
3:41000 - Token Ring - Active
IfInOctets
1:0 - Serial 0 - Admin down
2:992702626 - Serial 1 - Active
3:326972767 - Token Ring - Active.
The sites that are having problems is taking quite a while to return the
data where as sites that are collecting ok are returning data in seconds.
5) What I have noticed is when I locate and select the object, then run the
MIB browser my data is returned faster then when I type in an IP address and
I received information via graph format. If I type in the ip address for the
same site, do the same MIB then I receive information back, (noted above).
Select graph and receive error 'Nothing to graph. Verify SNMP Agents are
running on requested nodes and that the MB variables requested are
supported by that agent. Use MIB Browser or snmpwalk(1) command to verify'.
Grapher Message 'Ignore invalid hostname PortlandDTCDMV-W. Now, if I can
receive data back when I query the selected MIB doesn't that mean that the
agent is running and the MIB variables are supported on the node and
returning information.
I'm still fighting to set up another collection. Again your help is very
much appreciated. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Another thing to check on this is your name resolution. Make
sure you have reverse-lookup on these nodes, and that it returns
the exact same name as your Selection Name as displayed in
Tools..Display Object Info. A mismatch can cause snmpCollect
to not recognize these nodes.
