I jumped onto cyclone and see that you are able to contact the ADDE server on waldo: cyclone% dsinfo.k I RTIMAGES Dataset Names of Type: IMAGE in Group: RTIMAGES Name NumPos Content ------------ ------ -------------------------------------- ANTARCTIC 99999 Antarctic IR Composite EDFLOATER-I 99999 Educational Floater EDFLOATER-II 99999 Educational Floater II GE-IR 99999 GOES-East North America IR GE-IRTOPO 10 GOES-East IR/TOPO Composite GE-VIS 99999 GOES-East North America VIS GE-VISTOPO 10 GOES-East VIS/TOPO Composite GE-WV 99999 GOES-East North America H2O GEW-IR 10 GOES-East/West IR Composite GEW-IRTOPO 10 GOES-East/West IR/TOPO Composite GEW-VIS 10 GOES-East/West VIS Composite GEW-VISTOPO 10 GOES-East/West VIS/TOPO Composite GEW-WV 10 GOES-East/West H2O Composite GW-IR 99999 GOES-West Western US IR GW-IRTOPO 10 GOES-West IR/TOPO Composite GW-VIS 99999 GOES-West Western US VIS GW-VISTOPO 10 GOES-West VIS/TOPO Composite GW-WV 99999 GOES-West Western US H2O MDR 99999 Manually Digitized Radar MDRTOPO 10 MDR/TOPO Composite MOLL-IR 99999 Mollweide Composite IR MOLL-IRTOPO 10 Mollweide IR/TOPO Composite MOLL-WV 99999 Mollweide Composite H2O RESFLOATER 10 Research Floater DSINFO -- done but it does not list out data for simple things like IMGLIST: cyclone% imglist.k RTIMAGES/GE-IR.ALL Image file directory listing for:RTIMAGES/GE-IR imglist.k: No images satisfy the selection criteria imglist.k: done Given this, please disregard my earlier suggestions about firewall or TCP wrappers. If you can get the remote server on waldo to tell you what datasets are available, but trying to list elements from one of those datasets does not work, it means that there is a problem not on cyclone, but on waldo. I tried to logon to waldo from cyclone using the normal list: ssh, rlogin, and telnet, but I was unable to get through. With access to waldo, I could easily figure out what has gone astray as far as the ADDE dataset setup there. Tom
