The problem is likely to _not_ reside on your side. We had a major failure on motherlode.ucar.edu at around 8 pm MDT on Saturday night. Just so you know, adde.ucar.edu is one of the services that runs on motherlode.ucar.edu. We are redirecting all traffic headed for the services hosted on motherlode (e.g., adde.ucar.edu, thredds.ucar.edu, etc.) to a motherlode clone, atm.ucar.edu. For the great majority of ADDE datasets, the holdings on atm.ucar.edu are identical to those on adde.ucar.edu. The exceptions to this are grid datasets like RTGRIDS and RTGRIBS. This is likely to be the cause of the problems you are experiencing. re: > Oh yeah, running Centos 6.5 previously (3 days ago) I had no trouble > acquiring data > (heh! I know.) It seems that our machine problems and your switching to a new OS unfortunately occurred at the same time, and the impression would be that the problem was something with your new OS. I don't think that this is the case, but we will know for sure when motherlode is returned to service either late tomorrow or sometime on Wednesday (we replaced the power shelf (4x power supplies and power controller) this afternoon; the OS will be reloaded tonight; and mop up will likely extend into tomorrow sometime). re: > Port issues come to mind.

But, telnet directly to atm.ucar.edu does what is expected: /home/yoksas% telnet atm.ucar.edu 112 Trying 128.117.12.35... Connected to atm.ucar.edu.

Please do not rush off and spend time reloading OSes until we have motherlode back up and running as before. Again, we are hoping to be able to return the machine to full service sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.
