Well I get the same error code on Windows 2000 when a timeout occurs.

This occurs even the first time I try this. Note also, that there is no
link between the SNMP service running on the local machine and using the
MgmtAPI to query remote devices. Stop the SNMP service and querying remote
devices still works; the service exists to answer *queries* to the *local*
machine and nothing else. So see if that works, "net stop snmp" and see
whether your remote querying still works.

So, I think that there's simply a simple fault on Windows 2000: it returns 8
where it should return 40.

And my presumption is then that your queries /are/ timing-out. Perhaps if
the network is not dropping them, then maybe the ATMs are not responding
properly. A network sniffer is a *must have*, to see what is truly
happening on the wire.
