But what was the *exact* GET request(s) that you tried?
Cut-and-paste the command, please.

Do you get the same problem with internal "standard" OIDs
(such as the system group), or just your additions?

Err... that's not actually what the config file says.

You've got *two* entries for the community "public".
One of which only allows access from the box itself.

You still haven't given sufficient detail of exactly what
commands you're trying.   But my guess is that you're
using the community "public", and this is only valid from
localhost.
   I suspect that if you tried the same GET (or GETNEXT)
request with the community "private", then this would work.

I also suggest you change the rw community to something
a little less obvious!
