We've noticed that while we can connect to the catalogs for meteorological data in IDV (e.g., motherloade) from certain locations (e.g., edu), our experience in connecting with them off campus (e.g., from home, meetings, hotel rooms etc) varies. This is so both with IDV and using a web brower. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and we can't seem to find a rule by which we can or cannot connect? I can VPN to my university system and become an edu, but I'm curious as to the unpredictability of what locations can connect and what cannot, even when both are .coms. Are certain IP ranges (certain ranges of .coms or .nets for example) walled out from accessing motherloade or similar catalog sites from IDV.
