Hi Jim, I do not know if you have contacted your upstream site admin: Please see: http://unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/sitelist.html You will find that Pete Pokrandt address@hidden maintains sunset. I personally know that sunset was up and down a bit last week, as Pete was installing a CD burner, may or may not be part of your problem, but I suspect it is, because his clock got off by over an hour for awhile. I suspect that sunset will be stable from here out, but please let me know if this persists, and we can investigate further if need be. Thank you -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, Unidata Support wrote: > > ------- Forwarded Message > > >To: address@hidden > >cc: address@hidden, > >cc: address@hidden > >From: James T Brown <address@hidden> > >Subject: ** Network Troubles to my Primary Feed > >Organization: Michigan State University > >Keywords: 200201071513.g07FD9N08339 IDD > > IDD Support: > > Over the past week, I have been experiencing some trouble > keeping a network connection to my primary IDD site at > Wisconsin (sunset.meteor.wisc.edu).

As of Wednesday (Jan 09) morning, my network connection to your site (sunset.meteor.wisc.edu) appears to have stabilized. Yesterday morning, packet loss was still running between 50-60%, but this morning it is at 0%. I'm am hoping the trouble has been resolved, but I will continue to monitor things.
