Thanks for the response. 
 
Unfortunately I forgot to mention I am running on the Windows platform,
which may make a difference. I cant find xnmsnmpconf, just snmpconf.exe
 
I have been able to check on a Unix system, and yes there is the option to
change the port there. Interesting that it doesn't seem to be in the Windows
version.
 
Perhaps a quick edit of the underlying conf file, ovsnmp.conf? The comments
at the top don't mention the port.
 
Regards
Jeff

Try setting it in xnmsnmpconf.  Both netmon and snmpCollect use that
information.

I have 1 device that I want to monitor/manage, that for security reasons I
suppose, is set up to use port 260 instead of 161. 
  
Is there any way that I can configure this within NetView?
