Hi Kent,
the fact that SL4NT logs syslog messages from other syslog clients indicates
that there's a problem with your router configuration.
To troubleshoot:
1. Use a network sniffer (like Network Monitor, included with NT4 & W2K
server) to verify that syslog messages are sent from the router to the
computer running SL4NT (target port: UDP/514).
2. Use the SL4NT perf counters (Syslog Service object, counter: Messages
received) to check if syslog messages are received by SL4NT.
