Hi there<br>
This seems more to be a network problem, see if you can ping the
monsoondata server from the box, if not then thats the area to look in,
otherwise if you are behind a proxy server you may need a .dodsrc
config script to point grads to go via the proxy server.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

I'm moving from Win XP to Linux with my GrADS DODS routines.<br>
I'm a newbie in Linux, but I've managed to install gradsdods OK and
once I set GIDDIR using export, it seems to open OK. However, when I
try to open a file, this is what I get:<br>
<br>
sdfopen <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z">http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z</a><br>
Scanning self-describing file:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z">http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z</a><br>
nc_open failure:<br>
Invalid argument<br>
does not exist or is not a netCDF file.s/rotating/gfs_12z<br>
<br>
Couldn't ingest SDF metadata.<br>
If this was an HDF-SDS file, try gradshdf.<br>
<br>
Yet this same command works OK in Win XP.<br>
Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?<br>
<br>
