My media Portal Doesnt seem to be able to connect to the internet to search for weather or rss feeds. i'm connected through a university network, so it isnt a direct connection. is there any way to change the connection settings or make it connect?

Hi boozelclark,

It's probably a firewall or proxy server that your univeristy has running. If so, there probably isn't much you can do about it.
Mediaportal should use the settings in Control Panel->Internet Options.
Have you tried using RSS feeds in another application, ie. Firefox or IE7? If that doesn't work either, then it's definitely a firewall or proxy server issue.
