Apparently your computer does not support the (old) standard
internet addresses/protocols.  The particular message is from the
"tape" server TPMON1 which is almost never used.  As a result you
may ignore the message.  I suspect that you will have to start
aips with the command tv=local since the Inet TV (and TEK and
message servers) use the same methods as TPMON.
