The reason might be that host xx.xx.xx.xx.xx is not running an snmpd or its snmpd might be too slow or its snmpd might be configured to not respond to the host you are testing from. Unfortunately, there are (likely many) other possibilities too. Double check that you are using the correct host address, community string, etc. and that the host is running snmpd. You could also try to verify with the admin of the host that your client machine is allowed to connect to the host (e.g. not blocked by a firewall). Another option would be to use a network sniffer to see what is actually being transmitted by your request.
