Rajul,

Hmm...  Another site feeding from Penn State is using:

request MCIDAS "^pnga2area Q[01]" navier.meteo.psu.edu

Did Penn State change the name of their machine?

A 'nslookup' on navier.meteo.psu.edu gives the expected results:

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    navier.meteo.psu.edu
Address:  128.118.28.2

but the same on navierldm.meteo.psu.edu hangs.

Your request line looks fine except for the specification of navierldm.meteo...

>My pqact file is all pnga2area commands.

OK.  The entries in pqact.conf are just for processing products out of
the LDM's queue.  They really don't have anything to do with the ldmd.conf
request entries.

What happens when you change to use of navier.meteo.psu.edu in your request
line?
