Not all the questions were yes or no
:-)

*How* have you set it up to discover
all networks ? Is new node discovery turned *on* or *off* ?

If you answered yes to having ranges
in your seedfile, then remove all ranges and see how far discovery gets,
because ranges would be a classic reason why you are not seeing a great
deal of devices discovered.

From the NetView server box, can you
ping some of the remote devices that were not discovered ? Does this then
cause the devices to be discovered ?

I wouldn't think re-installing would
make a lot of difference. What I would do is delete and re-discovering
a core router and tracing the re-discovery so I could see what netmon was
doing as it read the ip tables (arp cache) and used what it learnt as hints.

I would also recommend adding at least
Fixpack1 to the mix.

YES to all the above questions.  This is Netview 7.1.3 on AIX  being
this is a test box.  I might just try and wipe the Netview application
clean and try again.
