[SNMP4J] Tables: createRow

Hi Jerome,
Without knowing the MIB specification/agent it
is now not possible to help any further.
You can try using the createAndWait mechanism
instead createAndGo. May be your agent does
not properly support the second. It could
also be that you have not specified a valid
row index.
Best regards,
Frank
