Anyone else have trouble with SW's DING?

[pat fan]

I downloaded it, but it won't work. In the box it says there is a failure to establish connection. I'm going to call SW later, but didn't know if anyone else had ever had the same trouble. I have Windows XP, BTW.

I have a Mac and DSL service and mine works fine. But, it only lists flights from now to Sep. 30.

do you have an active firewall program? If so, you have to make sure that the Ding executable program has permission to use the internet.

English please, with extremely detailed instructions......
Or I should call SW?

Your Firewall may be blocking it. I had a hard time getting it to work when I first installed it. Go to your Firewall & tell it to allow the Ding.

I had a problem once and needed to make internet explorer my default browser. So check your firewall and make sure Ding is allowed and then check your default browser.

My Ding didn't work so well either. As a PP mentioned it was due to my works firewalls and multiply secuirty features. I had to ultimately remove my Ding feature

My DING says "Communication Error" if it doesn't have any DINGS to show. WHen there are DINGS, there is a little mail box.

Maybe it is not really problem, just no DINGS (although that is a whole other problem )

I'm Dingless? And here I thought all my life I was very Dingy! Thanks for the help everyone, if I can't get it to work, I'm not too worried. Can't miss what you never had, right?
