The problem is that the utilities time out or report that the router didn't respond. I've confirmed that SNMP is enabled on the router and I'm using the default names of public and private. (I know, I will change them later.) Do you know for a fact that the Router will respond to SNMP... ie is it REALLY configured to respond to an SNMP request. SNMP is considered to be a potential security problem (it gives out WAY too much information, and has nothing even vaguely resembling security), consequently it is often not enabled by default these days.
