Hi all,
I have a C# application that read or write some MIB's. It works OK but
from time to time, instead of the right value, my app read '85' from the
targeted MIB. When I look on the remote machine, the value is correct
(eg. '1' or '24') but the app receive '85'.
Does someone know from where did '85' appeared ?

Thank you,
Dan

Whenever I see the numbers 85 or 170, my ears prick up, because they
are often used as "filler" bytes for unassigned memory, being 01010101
and 10101010 in binary respectively.
 
Thank you, Ben.

So this could mean that the SNMP packet is lost somewhere between the
remote machine and the app machine. I know for sure that the value on
the remote machine is ok. I will investigate further.

Thanks,
Dan
