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.

Cheers,

Tom
