Hi,

the problem is in the file "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/comun.py", function "internet_on".
This function is some sanity check, that the computer has a working Internet connectivity. It tries to get a proper reply from Google Public DNS server (8.8.8.8, TCP port 53), which might be blocked by your ISP (in my case the university network).

I just tried to bypass it (simply inserted "return True" at the beginning of this function and it works well.
So the solution is to make a better connectivity test (e. g. to the selected weather data provider) or to abandon such test completely.
Cheers, Filip
