To see hosts, you need to use the -h option. -h will find
hosts in addition to routers, etc. There is no option for
"just hosts". The maps generated by Autoconfiguration can
be adjusted "by hand" (using the Iconic Map interface),
however, to reflect hosts only.

Yes, you are right. Option -p with -h will find hosts
which do not necessarily talk SNMP.

All you need is one host that talks SNMP. The software
needs a place to start. Does your local host talk SNMP?
In place of the gateway in the .cf file, specify the address
of your local host (if it talks SNMP) or a reachable host
which talks SNMP, and let us know the results.
Hope this helps.
