Sorry to hear that you're stuck using Solaris.

You might want to figure out why you're not seeing the responses.  If you can get them it might help.

So since you're not seeing get-next-request to B, is there a chance that its responses aren't 
getting to the monitoring server?  I guess snmpwalk from the local network would show them if it 
works.  But maybe something is losing the replies along that path.

HTH,
