Cannot connect to service on Windows Host

I am trying to connect to a services on a Windows 7 host running on port 2210 ("The Dude") as well as UDP 161 (SNMP) . Netstat on the Windows machine says it is listening on those ports to all addresses:

C:\Users\VIDEOCAST>netstat -a

Active Connections

Similar for the UDP Listeners

But probes from outside find the port closed:

Windows firewall is disabled and I have tried disabling anitvirus. Please advise.

Is the host  you ran namp from on the same IP subnet as the target host?

Yes, definitely.
I would run Wireshark on both computers you are testing with to make sure the packets are leaving and arriving correctly.

On the linux box (at least it looks like linux) you can just run tcpdump and then copy the file to someplace that has wireshark.
You mean the packets from the Dude server +  client and the SNMP server + client?
I would start with capturing Dude and Client for now.   My guess is if you figure out what is happening with that is the same thing as SNMP.
Dude started working on it's own. As far as SNMP I don't know enough about SNMP to know it 's working.

Here was the capture I did for SNMP.

jaga@jaga-Desktop:~$ sudo tcpdump udp  port 161 and host 192.168.0.109 -w dudecapture.out

Open in new window


That captured 6 packets with source VIDEOCAST and dst jaga-desktop, each and SNMP "get-next-request"
snmpcapture.dmp
Note: I renamed dudecapture.out -->snmpcapture.dmp
I am assuming your PC was 192.168.0.109, the capture shows that the request is leaving your PC.  You need to do a capture on 192.168.0.142 to see if it is getting there.

You do have the SNMP agent running on 192.168.0.142, right?
No, I discovered the  SNMP Client is actually running on the Router, 192.168.0.1 and the agent is on 192.168.0.109. There is also a client running on 109, that's why the packets. The capture  was run on 192.168.0.142.

I did a new capture on the router since Router OS does captures, but nothing shows up. There should be lots of SNMP requests coming from the Dude (Dude also has a SNMP client), which runs on the router, to all the hosts on the network, but nothing.

Also, running Wireshark on 192.168.0.109 captures nothing, although it captures lots of activity when I run the SNMP client on 109 as it attempts to find SNMP services on the local network.

Sorry I've been gone. We had an ice storm and the power was out for two days.

It's working. I hadn't configured the community name correctly in Dude. I'm still learning how to use SNMP. Thank you giltjr!

Thanks and glad you found it.

A small suggestion, "public" is typically the default read community.  I would suggest that you do not use it.  This prevents somebody who might be interested in learning networking  from playing with SNMP and getting info from your devices that you might not want them to see.  

I would also not use any write communities unless you really, really need to and then I would use SNMP V3 for security.
Thanks!
