Selecting yesterday or day-2 just tells it how far back to go. You still
start off in the present.  To get older data, select yesterday or day-2
and then select the MOS station you want.  That will give you the latest
data.  Then use the "Previous" button to step back through the messages.

Sorry, I keep forgetting to look at this.  I can't read the /var/log/messages
file to see what the error is because I don't have the root password
on mclap (and most of the time mclap isn't on the net).  I tried the
ones for wxbox and winfo2, but they didn't work on mclap.

Look through that file and see if there are any errors about mounting
to wxbox.  Also, see if the NFS mount is being tried before it says
that the network is enabled.
