[SNMP4J] community

[Vee]

Hi 
        I have used snmp4j for a certain period of time for my project. It worked so impressively. Thank you for creating such a good library like this.  
        However, for the project, I have tested it with network simulator and it was ok on fetching MIB values from simulated devices, but when I tried it with the real devices at my Uni, it could not get any value from them. My friend told me that probably because the network admin disabled SNMP for the network devices. Is that possible? I'm quite new in network technology. I suspect that it would be as my friend said and more than that it could be caused by put an incorrect community name (by default, it is 'public' but to what extent can we change the community name? to anything? I thought we can choose only 'public' and 'private', is that correct?) what is the cause of this problem? Please suggest. I used snmp v.1 protocol on win xp 

Kind regards,
Jacky
