This works fine for waldo from Unidata: (laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 137 % nslookup waldo.stcloudstate.edu Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 Non-authoritative answer: Name: waldo.stcloudstate.edu Address: 199.17.31.240 (laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 138 % nslookup 199.17.31.240 Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 Name: waldo.stcloudstate.edu Address: 199.17.31.240 What does this look like from sunset? Tom >From address@hidden Sat Nov 17 12:53:43 2001 >Subject: RE: 20011116: ldm feed from sunset >To: "'Unidata Support'" <address@hidden> Tom Thanks for looking at this. I think you know the details and I have double checked that we have sunset's ip right. Also, no one had done any maintenance on waldo as far as I know up to the point the data loss was noticed so I am baffled. As I noted to Pete, I can ping sunset, but ldmping gives the response 'service unavail', 'connection refused' . Any ideas ? Alan
