Weather Docklet not detecting internet???

Weather Docklet not detecting internet???

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

Did you try this patch?

(From another thread)

Download this replacement stardockweather.ocx file:

http://sd.stardock.com/ken/stardockweather.ocx

and save it to your ObjectDock install folder (C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock). Open up ObjectDock and check the weather docklet. This may not work for everyone as it is a temporary workaround.

This worked for me as well. I had replaced it once before to correct a wrong days error,replacing it again has restored the weather docklet.:thumbsup:

Awesome fix! I have been wondering what was going on. I whole reason I use ObjectDock is for the weather app. I made a custom transparent background(looks good with aero) and I was wanting to test it out. Thanks!!!!

Ok, there seems to be many people like me

where the Weather Docklet is in N/A mode.

 When you hover over the docklet, it shows

"Internet Not Available"

 Have tried the so-called fix, which by the way

has never worked for me.

 One question that may solve this:

Can someone tell me the Port to open?

The specific Port that either the Weather Docklet

needs, Or ObjectDock itself?

Thanx in advance

w0lverine2004, have you used the weather docklet before? If it worked before then it most likely won't be a port issue.  So far the  fix has worked for everyone who tried it. Are you certain you are placing it in the correct folder and then closing and restarting OD?
