Until last week my sidebar items like weather and BBC radio would contact
the internet and download their data. Now I cannot get them to do this, they
are loading OK, but will not function properly. I have looked at the
firewall as a possible block (its Zone alarm) but cannot find a reason for
the failure.

Any thoughts?
