SatDisplay needs two files, ftp://www.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/OUTLSUPW
and ftp://www.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/AREA2001

Since it looks like you can't get to the Internet, you could:

 * download OUTLSUPW and AREA2001
 * copy them to your machine
 * change lines 187 and 188 (where the 'mapFile' and 'imageSource'
   variables are assigned) to point to the local copies of those
   files

after doing that, SatDisplay should work for you.
