i tried the /etc/hosts trick with no success. mythweather still times 
out when trying to get my information. i think something may be wrong, 
since i can't even get into the settings page to check/change my 
location. as soon as i open the settings, myth locks up while it looks 
for my weather, then gives me the OK/cancel option when it fails. any 
ideas? p.s. weather in mythweb works fine
