Thanks for all you help [DarkGUNMAN]. Weird. The RX-TX-IP works fine. Now with the yahoo i'm getting "possible pango markup language inconsistent/undetermined tag" with some numbers at the front now, but a green thumbs up on the widget? EDIT: Actually, what's necho ip mean on rx-tx-ip. Sorry to be a pain in the arse. EDIT: It's ok. I just removed necho from the code and it displays ok now. Here is the full error I get from the yahoo weather widget. (0x1722280) QBW(id13-yahooweather)Warning! Possible Pango Markup Language inconsistent/undetermined Tag!
