The name lookup service is not finding the computer named macmoffett.
This might get better with time and might not.

An alternative would be to switch to calling your machine a laptop
which is fine if you are the only machine using the installation.
Edit $AIPS_ROOT files HOSTS.LIST (to add LOCALHOST) and LIGIN.SH and
LOGIN.CSH to say LAPTOP YES.  Edit $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 files NETSP and
DADEVS.LIST to add LOCALHOST_n data areas parallel to the current
MACMOFFETT_n areas.  In $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 do
ln -s MACMOFFETT LOCALHOST
and in $AIPS_ROOT/DATA (or wherever)
ln -s MACMOFFETT_1 LOCALHOST_1
etc.

The source LOGIN.CSH or . LOGIN.SH (for bash) and you should be
golden.  At that point it uses TVs to localhost:0.0 which should work.
There is also the aips tv=local which you could try (see help XAS or
the CookBook chapter 2 or the man aips page for more info).
