This looks like a firewall issue trying to connect to the
server.  On the machine running the IDV, is port 112 blocked?
Can you access this dataset from McIDAS?

At some point we probably can.  However, unlike imagery, not
all point observations can be accessed through the chooser, so
we can't use the same paradigm where we query a dataset (i.e.
SRFOBS) and get back a list of descriptors.  For now, you
entering in the group/descriptor into the combo box is the
best we have.

For the future, we can look at using the plugin facility so
you could easily add in your own preferences for what shows up.

adding that into the box essentially does the same thing.
