I'm not sure if you ever got a reply or not, because I received an error about it sending yesterday, so I'll re-post. You do have the configuration file snmpd.conf set up to have a read-only community name of public, right? It would look like in snmpd.conf. I'm not sure where Debian stores this, but in RHEL it's /etc/snmpd.conf. rocommunity public Also, is the service turned on and starting ok on the host, snmpd that is? Again, I'm not sure of the Debian commands, but on RHEL it would be service snmpd start and chkconfig snmpd on to make sure it starts on boot. Be careful posting your live IP address out in the open especially when you might have a read-write setup installed on the snmp host by accident. Others could do things to your server then. If you have to use the older version 1 or 2 snmp then I suggest changing the community string to something more difficult. Also, rememeber to only allow the configuration to be read-only. The most recent version of snmp supports v3, which allows some form of encryption to take place with changes of information.
