Frank,

Our power went out as well yesterday morning around 9:30 (probably related 
to the lake effect snow storm here), and for some reason the UPS was 
unable to keep the our server up and so the product queue was corrupted. 
Unfortunately, I was not in the office yesterday so I was unable to take 
corrective action then.  Our ldm is now running (as of 1711Z), but we have 
not seen any connection attempts from your site as of yet.  The Rutgers 
server is not responding to pings or ldmpings from our site, so I don't 
know what has happened to them.  (I don't see Rutgers listed on the 
Unidata IDD Real Time Statistics page, so it's likely they have been down 
for quite some time--check your ldmd logs.)  So your lack of feeds 
yesterday seems unlikely to be caused by a change in your firewall 
settings (although it is possible).  I'm sorry for the interruption in 
service; these things always seem to happen when I take a day off.

Tom
