It could be your firewall. Do you have ZoneAlarm or something similar? If so check it's not specifically blocking access to the 'net by this application.

I'm running Windows XP and Comcast High Speed Internet is my service provider.

For years I've been using a "weatherbug-like" program to track local weather and temperatures in the system tray. A couple of days ago I had to replace my cable modem. When I installed the new modem and connected to the internet, Comcast recognized that I had a new modem and took me thru the same process as a new user. Eventually I had to call Comcast and read them the MAC address off the new modem before I could get connected.

My web browsers work fine. I have no problem with Internet Explorer or with Seamonkey. However, the weather software can not connect with the internet and I don't understand why. I've even removed it and reinstalled it, to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Tom


I tried turning the firewall off already and it didn't make any difference.
