Hi Michael,

OK, on your OPENDAP .html page I'm seeing the "Data URL" as:

http://hycom2.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/GLBa0.08/analysis

Looks like your Tomcat installation isn't configured to use tds.hycom.org as 
the host address. Can you send us your Tomcat server.xml file, 
${TOMCAT_HOME}/conf/server.xml, so we can take a look at it? There are a few 
places in there you can configure the host name.

Also, are you running Tomcat standalone or are you proxying it through Apache? 
How is the tds.hycom.org host name setup? Just DNS? Or, if you are proxying 
through Apache, is Apache configured to deal with it as well?

Thanks,

Ethan
