Rich, Yes - Unfortunately both IPs are that of the controlling device. The trap sent contains the IP I want, but it is not in either the agent or sender address.

The reason I ask, is I have a device which will send a trap to InterMapper with critical information about another device on my network. That device is unable to send a trap itself. --- end of quote --- In this situation, the device will often send the trap and fill in both the "agent address" and "sender address" of the trap packet. The first step in diagnosing this would be to add a device to a test map and use the SNMP/Trap Viewer probe. Open the status window, then force a trap to be sent. The Status Window will show the contents of the trap's fields. (Tip: right-click in the status window and choose Copy all... to paste into a message.) Try both addresses: the address of the original device (that can't send the trap) and the proxy device (that's sending the trap on the other device's behalf). Please get back to me if you have further questions. Thanks.
