Hi- To access the remote sounding (or other) data, you must have some ports unblocked by your firewall to enable the connection. On the latest versions, you only need to have port 112 open. For the version you are running, you may need ports 500 and 503 open as well. I would also suggest that you upgrade to the latest version (2.0). We no longer support version 1.1.
