bbweather - firewall issues -
06-28-2007, 03:45 PM
I installed bbweather using all the advice from folks here on the forum; and it works beautifully for me on my 7250; so thank you all very much for the advice. Use only the trackwheel, enter the correct location code, and put in the matching city name for your location code = everything works perfectly.
My problem with bbweather is that, when it tries to update; I get a message that "bbweather has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy". I can set my firewall setting to "disabled" and it will work fine; but if I enable the firewall; it stops the updating of the weather.
I don't want to leave anything open to security or virus issues by not having the firewall enabled; but I don't see any way to pick and choose what you allow. Can anyone give me any ideas on how I should proceed?
Thanks again for all your advice; this site has been incredibly helpful.
