Several possibilities come to mind:

- you are accessing the datasets in McIDAS as LOCAL-DATA

  To test this, run the following:

  <as 'mcidas'>
  cd $MCDATA
  dataloc.k LIST

  If these all come back as LOCAL-DATA, then try pointing
  your McIDAS session at your ADDE remote server.  For
  instance:

  <as 'mcidas'>
  cd $MCDATA
  dataloc.k ADD NEXRCOMP fully_qualified_name_of_your_ADDE_server

  dsinfo.k IMAGE NEXRCOMP

  Does this work?

- your ADDE remote server is not setup/setup correctly

  Please send me the name of the machine hosting your
  ADDE remote server and I will run tests to it using
  my McIDAS installations at Unidata and at home.

- your firewall is preventing port 112 traffic from the
  machine running IDV

I am betting that the problem is somewhere in your ADDE
remote server setup.

Cheers,

Tom
