Good!
For the ADDE connection, I have already had the manager of the firewall to open the port 112. However, I could not connectto the RAOB database. Could you let me know what else ports would be needed to connect to RAOB. The error message was as follows:
You also need to open up ports 500 and 503.You could also explicitly specify the port in the host name field in the chooser. e.g.:
adde.ucar.edu:112 -Jeff
