What is the name of your LDM machine?  I do not see any 'osu.edu' machine
in our real-time statistics by host page:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex

Because of this, I assume that you are not reporting real-time
statistics back to Unidata.  If this is true, it would be a good idea
to enable this reporting so we can help diagnose your data receipt or
processing problem.

Cheers,
