The error that comes back is: "Request rejected by node for variable sysReset.0" As a matter of fact, I get the the same error for reads of variables: sysAbsoluteCurrentTime sysReset sysLoadName sysAuthPreference However, I can get variables ABOVE those like: sysSecsSinceStartup sysMibVersionNum sysMibMinorRevNum etc I made sure I have my SNMP station's IP address listed as a write manager to this node but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I also turned 'security' off and it didn't make a difference. Do you think my SNMP program has mangled the MIB? I'm running 5.0Ap23 right now - I was running 5.0Ap20 when I first noticed the problem (I was upgrading the firmware that's why I wanted to reset the unit) At 11:39 AM 9/8/97 -0400, you wrote: >Have you done a trace of the set?
