    What was the OID that you used? Someone mentioned in
    another newsgroup that the following doesn't work:
    1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.7.13 because this is a top level object.

    But what works is 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.7.13.3.0 (which is
    the current connected players counter of the top level
    object).

    Also, what was the name of the community that you use?
    Did you add one under Comp Management->Services->SNMP
    Services->Properties->Security? I added one with a name
    public and then used an internal tool with "public" as
    the specified community name and it seems to work when I
    test the above OID. I have not used snmputil.exe yet, so
    I am not familiar with it.

    Thx,
    Ravi
