Problem running GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

Tue Jan 5 20:52:37 EST 2010

Hello John,
 Thanks a lot for helping me out with this.

 I think the problem is because of a firewall. When I ran grads on 9.04, I
was at home, whereas I was at work when I ran it on 9.10.And we are behind a
proxy firewall at work. I did not think of this angle at all.

 Is there a way to specify the Network settings within GrADS (proxy server
name,username,pwd) ? Or should I be talking to the Network Administrator at
work to  figure out how to go about this?

Thanks again for helping out with this.

Regards,
 Varun Murthy

PS: I will get the ldd on grads when I reach work and see if something is
amiss.
