Hi Bill Yuan and I are having trouble reproducing the connection problem. We were able to load your bundle and see + US Metar data + Canadian Metar data + Radar composite data (We are getting errors originating from not being able to load local resource, e.g. C:\IdvWxIcon\radarColBar9.gif, but that is expected.) In order to better diagnosis this connection problem, do not use this bundle, but start from a clean slate. Then try to load the radar composite from the Unidata adde server. Are you seeing a connect problem? This test will hopefully better isolate the problem. Thanks. -Julien > Julien, > > I don't believe it is.
