no SNMP remote communication

I've just installed net-snmp, v 5.2, on two Linux systems,
and locally, each works, but they don't talk to each
other. "snmpget ling sysUpTime.0" gives "snmpget: Timeout".

I started the snmpd daemon on both systems with "-d", and
when I watch /var/log/snmpd.log, I see no packets sent or
received on either system. There's no firewall, so far as
I know. On the sending system side, "netstat -u -s" gives
"258926 packets sent" before the "snmpget" and afterward,
gives "258932 packets sent", but on the receiving system,
the figure for packets received doesn't change.

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

(Sending system has Linux 2.6.6, receiving system has Linux
2.6.9.)
