As far as I know it's on a T1 and a >T3 and we're routed through the T3. OK, if Howard has a T3 connection, and your department is connected through a T1, you would still run into problems trying to ingest all of the NNEXRAD data. >But I would only like to recieve just >1 of the NNEXRAD products. I doubt that it would clog of the network. That would certainly not clog your network. For this test, try altering your ldmd.conf request entry to: request NNEXRAD "/p...(LWX|DOX|AKQ)" snow.nrcc.cornell.edu This will request all products from three NEXRADs: ID Station Name Data Types ST CO LAT LON ELE DOX Dover Air Force Base N DE US 38:49:32 75:26:23 19 LWX BALTIMORE N MD US 38:58:31 77:28:40 104 AKQ WAKEFIELD N VA US 36:59:02 77:00:26 43 >My >download speeds range from 600 kilobytes per sec at the mos to a minimum >of 200 kilobytes/sec I think it should be able to handle it.

Which notifyme times out, the one to snow.nrcc.cornell.edu or the one to your own local host? What I have in mind is feeding you NNEXRAD products from a machine we operate at the National Science Foundation. Since I have access to that machine, I can login and see if there are errors when your machine attempts to connect to it. So, if you give me the full name of your machine, I will allow it to request a feed from the NSF machine, atm.geo.nsf.gov. You would then need to change your ldmd.conf file to request the data from this machine: request NNEXRAD "/p...(LWX|DOX|AKQ)" atm.geo.nsf.gov After making changes in ldmd.conf, you need to stop and restart your LDM: ldmadmin stop <wait for all LDM processes to exit> ldmadmin start To speed up this process, would you be willing to give me a logon to your machine as 'ldm'? If not, what is the full name and IP address of the machine you are setting the LDM up on? Tom
