Comment 25 for bug 1042667

A little fishing with Wireshark shows some interesting information. Regardless of which weather souce you choose (Google or Yahoo) the application does a DNS query for www.google.com. On my system the first reply is a IP v6 address. Then I get an IP v4 address resolution. The application then attempts to connect to Google to obtain the weather. Prior posts indicate that Google took down its weather. Google replies via HTTP and returns HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden.

Looks like someone may have attempted to force all connections to Yahoo only to force everything to Google is stopped its weather feed.
