Do these commands work in Windows Netview
as well?

If you have $ entries in your netmon.seed file then
ping should not be 
used (unless an operator uses the Test -> Ping menu).  The way
I usually 
check is with the netmon -a commands:
netmon -a 8            shows nodes being
status polled with SNMP
netmon -a 12          shows netmon's ping list
(if status polls use 
SNMP, the first field should be a very large number)
netmon -a 16          shows netmon's SNMP list

All output is in /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace.

Cheers,
Jane
