So the MIB file is installed, and the parsing library is finding it.

Have you actually written code to *implement* this MIB?
How have you included this within the running agent?

See the FAQ entry
     I've installed a new MIB file. Why can't I query it?

and the other entries it references.

Are you working for/with Tibco Inc?
Because they own this particular enterprise number.

If you're not working in conjunction with them, please use
NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpPlaypen   for your experimental MIBs.

Or apply for your own enterprise number.  (It's free!).
But don't just grab someone else's - that's rude!

Good - a lot of people get that wrong.

Not so good.
Why can't people be bothered to document their MIBs properly?!

Bad.
Index objects do not have default values.
(Well, I don't believe it's forbidden, but it's completely
pointless)

Why not use the type defined for this purpose?   (IpAddress)
Or even the newer InetAddress/InetAddressType pair,
if you want to support more than IPv4.

This needs to be read-create (or read-only)
Similarly for 'hostsName'
