Besides my local weather (San Francisco - SFO), I like to check the weather at various places where I've lived, have family or friends; not only here in the US, but some other locations round the world. Mostly I just use my local weather, but I do like to wonder now and then what it's like elsewhere.

I have 7 stations and all of them show the information :/

Ha! found it! (or at least I believe so).

I poked around in network settings in the TDE Control Center, and it turns out that proxy had been set to "manually specify proxy settings"; once I clicked change to direct connection, then updated kweather, suddenly I have information for my weather stations.

Now the puzzle is, why are my network and proxy settings changed in the TDE Control Center, when in fact I never use those settings. I have my machine set for direct connection, and manually specify

proxy

...

settings for individual applications like browsers or whatever.

This puzzle only you can save! ;-)

Glad it works for you again.

Yes, but I wonder why TDE apps will not use system proxy settings. This is my main reason for problems encountered with online weather pages, and with weather apps on my smartphone.

If I am asking what's the weather, then they already know the location close enough for my own information. The weather is about the same if it is in the same city. But no, they want to know my precise real location, as I sit here at my desk, even if I am wondering what is the weather like in London or Moscow. Is it a matter of national security, to know this about me?

It would be nice to be able to torify TDE apps. :-[
