I am trying to get the SNMP trap service to run on my win2000 laptop. When I try to start manually the service gives me an error message "Could not start the SNMP TRap service on local console. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified." How canI remove and reinstall this service.

Have you defined the port on your laptop for SNMP communication?

It could be that another application is binding to the same port as the SNMP service.

To determine the port that your SNMP service is binding to, use Notepad to open C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services.

The standard is:
snmp 161/udp #SNMP
snmptrap 162/udp

To determine if another service is using the port, open a CMD prompt and type:
netstat -an

To remove go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Components > Internet INformation Services > SMTP. Foloow the same path to install the service
