Hi Murray, re: > Did the IP addresses in the previous email aid you? Yes. A quick check shows that there is forward and reverse DNS for both machines: % nslookup 199.212.17.130 Server: 128.117.64.44 Address: 128.117.64.44#53 Non-authoritative answer: 130.17.212.199.in-addr.arpa name = ecdor130.cmc.ec.gc.ca.

You should test that this is the case by: <as 'ldm' on each of the two machines in question> notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h iddb.unidata.ucar.edu Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
