Hi Ernie- I'm guessing it's a host table or DNS configuration problem. For some reason, the IDV lookup of the local host name is failing. Looking back through the support archives, I found another user who had a similar problem: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg02175.html If you click the Thread Next link, you can see his solution. If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll talk to our system admins for some additional head scratching.
