Hi!
I'm relatively new to NetView (learning by doing), but am a bit confused
about how NetView actually do things. 

We have a customer with NetView for
Windows (7.1.4) and I wonder how the 'Poll all nodes' works. I had 'Poll
all nodes' 
checked, but set "Disable all SNMP
status polling". The result seems to be nodes going down goes undetected?
When 
I turned the setting to "Set SNMP
default option to poll fors status every" x minutes. This resulted
in a lot of nodes being 
detected as unavailable and were deleted
because they had been down for a longer time than indicated by the "Delete

nodes down for" setting. This is
ok, but it looks like both SNMP and ICMP polling was turned off?
