I'm having trouble getting the out-of-the-box MSNBC Weather Web Part to work
in one of my SharePoint sites. I'm still learning the ropes with WSS and
wondering if others are experiencing problems with it too. The other MSNBC
web parts work fine (business news, general news). I think the issue is on
MSNBC's side delivering content and not on SharePoint trying to retrieve
content.

The error I get when the web part loads is:
Current weather conditions are not available. Try again later.

On the flip side, where can I find other USA and Canada weather web parts
for SharePoint? Google didn't provide terribly great results...
(Note that I'm not running Portal Server, just WSS.)

Thanks much!
Justin

Just a head's up for other people, MSNBC doesn't seem to be having any
problems delivering the Weather content to our WSS Portal Server. So I
tend to think this isn't an issue.
Since I didn't originally set up the WebParts for MSNBC, i can't really
help you more than that. Sorry

This web part does work in WSS but the message you are getting (Current
weather conditions are not available. Try again later.) seems to be nothing
to do with WSS but a temporary problem that the service providing this
information is having.

Certainly WSS doesn't send out messages like "Current weather conditions are
not available. Try again later." itself.
