I am always getting Unknown OID when my client interrogates my server.

When I get on the server and interrogate localhost, I see a large and healthy looking list of OIDs 'n' stuff. The list *does* include the values I am seeking from the client.

I am a somewhat experienced Linux hand but an SNMP newbie. The SNMP client is a pretty minimal ucLinux embedded machine.

Here is some spew produced by my thrashing around:

On the host:
[eric@localhost linux-cortexm-1.12.0]$ snmpget -v1 -cpublic -mALL localhost sysName.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: localhost.localdomain
[eric@localhost linux-cortexm-1.12.0]$ snmpget -v1 -cpublic -mALL localhost sysUpTime.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (353814) 0:58:58.14

So that is OK. It also works using the IP addr, not localhost:

[eric@localhost linux-cortexm-1.12.0]$ snmpget -v1 -cpublic -mALL 192.168.3.41 sysUpTime.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (377014) 1:02:50.14



The machines can ping each other OK. All other internetty stuff is fine. They are on the same subnet and same router. Both machines can see the outside world, e.g. pinging google works.
Any clues appreciated.
