It's possible that this is due to a malformed SNMP request,
as Mohammad suggests.

But personally, I think it's more likely to be issues with a local firewall
blocking the request (so the agent never receives it) or access control
settings (so the agent receives it, but refuses to process it).
   See the FAQ entry
       "Why can't I see anything from the agent?"
               for details

The other way you can test this is to try the same request using
the "snmpget" command, rather than your local application.  If that
reports the values you expect, then the problem is most likely with
your code.
   If that fails as well, then the problem is more likely to be with the
configuration of the agent.
