[IDV #RCW-122610]: question on connecting to servers

Katie,
       Foe the ADDE server you need to have the permission to port 112, and 
THREDDS data server you need 8080 port.
If you don't have the user id and password, don't try to connect to the 
EUMETSAT. 

Here is the information on the IDV FAQ site:

It also has other useful information you can reference in the future.
