Hi Didier,

Thanks for the response.

Ok, so the only file I need to configure for MLM is midmand.config. Great.

Can you clarify for me please.  I don't understand how editing trapfrwd.conf 
changes the port the netview server(on the same machine as the MLM) receives 
snmp traps on?  From what I read, the MLM must receive traps on port 162  The 
netview server will also try to receive traps on port 162.  How do I change 
this?

Thanks again.

Lee.

    Hi Lee 
    Use a most recently Netview for NT version (6.0.1) 

    Check that the line "localhost 1662" is present in the trapfrwd.conf file. 

    register the trapfrwd daemon using the ovaddobj command. 

    There is no smconfig tool on NT. Read the sample configuration file 
midmand.conf and create a file corresponding to your environnement. 

    bye

         Hi Guys,I haven't received a reply to my previous mail.  If there's 
any Netview for NT guru's out there that could help me I'd be grateful.  I'm 
banging my head against a brick wall at the moment :-)Another question:     The 
documentation keeps mentioning the unix tool smconfig to configure the MLM for 
NT, which I don't have as I'm running the Netview server on NT.  How can I 
manually configure the MLM for NT?Thanks again.

        Hi Guys, I wondering if you can help me. I'm new to Netview.  Were 
using 5.12 on Windows NT.  I have setup Netview as a server in one of our Data 
Centres(DC) and installed MLM for NT(so Netview's acting as an attended MLM, 
right?)  I have also installed Netview as a server in our Office.  I wish to 
use Netview in the office to gather all information from the MLM in the DC.  I 
know roughly how to do this, but I've come across the problem that both the MLM 
and Netview server in the DC are receiving traps on port 162.  I need to change 
this so the netview receives traps on another port, so it doesn't conflict with 
the MLM.  I've read the documentation, but I'm still not sure how to do this? 
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
