Perhaps. It could also be that the server that you are trying to contact is not running. Question: - what ADDE server do you have your McIDAS installation setup to access for the RTIMAGES imagery? If it is one of the ones that we operate, then the answer to your question is that it is most likely that outbound connections to port 112 are being blocked on your machine/network.
