snmp not working

[HP Geeza]

Hi

Thanks for the info, but im affraid it still isn't working :-(

FYI
Usage: check_snmp -H <ip_address> -o <OID> [-w warn_range] [-c crit_range]
                  [-C community] [-s string] [-r regex] [-R regexi]
                  [-t timeout] [-e retries]
                  [-l label] [-u units] [-p port-number] [-d delimiter]
                  [-D output-delimiter] [-m miblist] [-P snmp version]
                  [-L seclevel] [-U secname] [-a authproto] [-A authpasswd]
                  [-X privpasswd]

i try running the command: ./check_snmp -H 10.30.129.30 -o 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2012.1.1.1.4.2.0 -w 80 -c 85 -C public

and still get a value of "SNMP WARNING - 69" back

accoring to the command im running should the waring only come up when the 
-w parameter is met? - i.e 80 and critical when its 85??

Any help would be great
