Did you already have a look at the respective Wiki pages at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossSNMPAdapter? Did you check that neither the machine where JBoss is on, nor the receiver (or any machine in between) has firewall rules to drop the snmp packets? I used to send traps to receiver on a local machine just fine in the past. How exactly did you specify the receiver in the managers.xml file? If you provided a hostname, are you sure that this correctly resolves to a ip address? Can you ping that machine?
