Weather Docklet not detecting internet???

By Wynneth Posted June 3, 2008 16:47:33

I've made no changes what so ever, but today my weather docklet does not work. It just says "Internet Not Available". I've turned off all firewalls and etc, verified other bits of object dock work fine... Any help? ObjectDock Plus 1.9

Could there be any security software that needs to make an exception for the Weather Docklet? If you can connect to the internet but the docklet can't then it must simply be blocked. Try disabling any security software then restart the program and see if it persists.

Hi all.

New forum user - and I just came looking to see if there was also a problem with the weather updating.

Initially, about 4 days ago, it did. Worked wonderfully. Now, as the OP states, I also am getting "N/A - Feed not available... try again later."

Wouldn't have brought it up at all - except the OP has extraordinarily similar issues to mine. Although, mine does clearly attempt to connect to the Internet in the first place.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

No still doing fine on this end. What locations are you two using?

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Putting into the area req.. Melbourne, Victoria, AU

Edit - -

Have tried a few different combinations. None of them are working. Went directly to accuweather.com and can retrieve the info fine. Docklet says that's it's getting the info, but then says 'feed not available' etc.

Edit 2 - -

Ok, have tried in CAPS, just Melbourne, (comma) Australia. And now, it seems to be working. ? ? Go figure. But, doesn't matter I guess. For my situation, looks like it was a matter of getting the right combo together. Still doesn't explain why it was working before and then not (till I changed it).

As of this afternoon we discovered the problem with the servers. The developers have been made aware of it and we hope to have things fixed shortly. Sorry for the trouble.

That's nice to know Seabass. My Weather Docklet for Staokton, CA stopped working today as well!

'preciate the 4-11...

Cp

My Weather Docklet for Staokton

I mean Stockton, damn edit button is gone!

As of this morning we should be all connected and set up yet. If you are still having troubles please give it till the end of the day before reporting it as some servers might still be getting the reset.

I live in the US in IOWA and it still says: "Internet not availabe." Why won't the weather docklet work!

Please help!

What location are you at? As in zip code and town, Iowa? If you can't gain access I might be able to help you find a work around.

I'm having the exact same trouble. I live in Loami, IL. I entered that an also tried the zip code 62661, but it just says, "Internet not available."

Same problem here all day. Living in Sweden. I guess I'll just have to look out the window to find out what weather it is. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

Same thing in Brooklyn NY Zip 11210

Same thing in Atlanta, GA 30301

mine died too. was working the day before yeasterday. Nothing has changed on my pc.

Goes to show ...you can't predict the weather.........docklet.[e digicons][/e]

Mine has quit from time to time,it always comes back sooner or later.

Same here, "Internet not available". The Accuweather site displays fine, although the information it displays is *always* very wrong for this area (88130). Is there not an option to use wunderground instead of accuweather as it seems to be the only accurate one for this location?

Hi folks. Same Here in France. The docklet is reading this address: http://weather2.sdcentral.net/weather.asmx , but the server seems to busy to respond. Maybe they'll fix this bug themselves...

I am having the same issue here in Portland, ME with a paid version of OD+. Just got it two days ago and it worked great for about a day. Now the weather docklet is unresponsive. Have tried with setting an exception for ObjectDock in Windows Firewall and with the Firewall completely off. Still no response. Seems like either Accuweather's servers have timed out on us, or they have changed something server side.

Having same problem here in Florida. All dock items work, not weather. Also, can connect to internet with the docklet...but when try update weather, get error 'not connected to internet'. Go figure!

having the issue as well since yesterday, paid version, florida zip.

This implies a problem with accuweather rather than the docklet... If you can connect to the right page at the accuweather site, perhaps an overview of how the docklet is connecting is in order... (Though I think that's already done, so the next OD release should sort the issues).

It's happening to me too, "Internet Not Available" 1.9 freeware verseion, location Norwich, UK, as of yesterday (17 November) and continuing. I'm currently assuming the problem is not at my end as it was previously working for ages (sometimes even has the right day of the week too lol)

mine has also stopped working in the last couple of days...i havent madew any changes to the computer at all...it just stopped working

also for got to say im runnig vista ultimate 32bit and object dock plus the latest release from impulse
