Okay...so I did as you suggested with some success....I was able to do a
demand poll on the NetView server...and on another device.  However,  when I
issued the demand poll to start....it would take anywhere from 2 minutes to
10 minutes before it finally came back with anything....sometimes I let it
try for up to 15 minutes before stopping the attempt.  Thinking that the
server must be busy doing something else I reconfigured the SNMP polling
options to change the default "Poll to discover new nodes" from 20 minutes
to 1 per week....recycled the deamons with ovstop and ovstart.  I brought up
the Netview console, checked the status of the Network Monitor in the
gui....it was idle...so there were pretty much no Netview processes going
on.  I checked the overall system processes...nothing going on there and
attempted another demand poll.  It still took up to 10 minutes sometimes to
actually do the poll.  Any other ideas !!

Thanks for your help by the way !!!!!

Brian

I still think you have a deamon problem...that could be a configuration
problem.     You said that demand polls do not finish.    I think that the
problem with demandpolls is the same as your icon problems.

You mention your routers are not in the DNS.   Is your NetView server in
your DNS?   You need both name lookup and reverse lookup working...or all
bets are off.

Steps I would take to see things.
1.   Verify that DNS is configured properly.
2.   Verify that you can snmpwalk your netview server from the netview
server
3.   stop all daemons completely.
4.  start all daemons completely
5.  check status of all daemons  to make sure they are running
5.  wait 2 minutes, then try to do a demandpoll.   it should succeed..  (do
the demandpoll on the symbol of the NetView server)
6  if the demandpoll does not succeed, and says it is waiting for netmon to
respond, then you should call NetView support.

--- do you have any other applications like "Cisco Works" or other snmp
software installed?   They may be taking ports that NetView wants
