Is it possible to access IDV's datasources, such as those at motherlode.ucar.edu & adde.ucar.edu from a non-university or non-government ISP, such as a commerical internet provider? We have students (not to mention myself) who wouldn't mind using IDV from their homes. I've had difficulty with previous versions and am not sure if it is my ISP, my firewall that is the problem, or if off-edu sites are blocked from data access.
At this time, access to motherlode (which is also adde.ucar.edu) and other publicly available ADDE and DODS servers is not restricted except as specified at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/data_usage.html Firewall issues for access to ADDE servers are explained in the IDV FAQ: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/Faq.html#faq1_cat5_16 note that this applies to the 1.1 non-beta release. Previous releases require ports 500 and 503 (old ADDE access ports) to be open as well. If the use/load on these servers becomes overwhelming, we may have to restrict access. I would also suggest using servers other than adde.ucar.edu to spread the load for ADDE access. Right now there is no load balancing in the IDV among servers. I suggest 1) setting up your own ADDE server if you are a recipient of the Unidata IDD streams or 2) picking a site that is more topologically close to you on the internet. You can select any from the list and see which gives the best results. Don ************************************************************* Don Murray UCAR Unidata Program dmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx P.O.
