DODS data using ferret

[Retish Senan <retish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
	I am not able to use Ferret to access remote DODS datasets.

E.g.

yes? go dods_pmel coads_climatology.nc
The attribute object returned from the dataset was null
Check that the URL is correct.
 ** netCDF error: Invalid Argument
 is this a CDF file ?
SET DATA
"http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/coads_climatology.nc";
Command file, command group, or REPEAT execution aborted

	I and using Ferret version 5.22 on a Red Hat Linux 7.1 machine.
Is this a problem with the network settings of my machine? 
I am able to use Netscape to get information on the DODS datesets
(ie. using das, .dds, .dods, .info extensions).
	
        Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Retish
