Can anyone explain to me why I am getting connection errors for the

options are Columbia University, Smithsonian Institution Libraries and the

system is connected to the internet, I am able to connect to the system
using http. And the server will connect to loc.gov.
How have you got them set up? LoC are pretty bullet-proof and fast set up as:
Hostname/Port--Database--Userid--Password--Checked--Rank--Syntax--Encoding--Timeout
lx2.loc.gov:210--LCDB--blank--blank--Yes(or no)--17(your
choice)--USMARC--utf8--0
The Smithsonian is oddball (siris-libraries.si.edu:210, default, USMARC,
utf8) -- fast but "choosey" e.g. their own Smithsonian Miscellaneous
Collections Vol. 93 No 4 (that I have in front off me) finds it using the
author (Randers-Pehrson), but "nothing found" with the title "Pioneer wind
tunnels" or even more odd, Title + Author also gives "nothing found"...
Columbia most often seems to work efficiently:
clio-db.cc.columbia.edu:7090, VOYAGER, USMARC, utf8 -- but only if they
have it "on-site" e.g Butler stacks -- if it's "off-site" (whatever that
means) it works about 50% of the time.
