Hi Samuel- > Full Name: Samuel M. Zehel Jnr. > Email Address: address@hidden > Organization: California University of Pennsylvania > Package Version: 2.4 build date:2007-12-20 16:34 UTC > Operating System: Linux > Hardware: Java: home: /home/weatherctr/IDV_2.4/jre version: 1.5.0_11 j3d:1.3.1 > Description of problem: Connecting to server:shu.cup.edu > EBE270-22LIN.cup.edu: EBE270-22LIN.cup.edu It looks like something is wrong in your hosts table or your DNS server. At this point, it is trying to get the IP address of the localhost and is failing. I can't do a DNS lookup on EBE270-22LIN.cup.edu. Do you have a localhost entry set up in the hosts table?
