Hi Justin, I'm sorry to hear AWIPS is giving you some trouble. This looks like a common error we get with some of our Windows users. The issue is that some Windows machines have defaulted to using IPv6, and AWIPS does not currently support that. To fix the issue simply follow these steps: 1) In Windows 10, search for "Control Panel" 2) Once in Control Panel, look for "Network and Sharing Center" 3) Click "Change adapter settings" 4) Select the adapter for your current connection (Should be either"Ethernet" or "Wi-Fi") 5) Click on Properties 6) Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). 7) Close and restart CAVE. I hope this helps. Thanks. --Shay Carter Software Engineer II UCAR - Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XRQ-170815 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
