Humm... grumble grumble, wonder what's going on...  new router(s), nah -
all the other PCs can get out to the world... bad mvpmc command line?,
humm, maybe - but picking a preloaded town in the mvpmc's settings menu
didn't work either...

<SOAPBOX>What is this advert?  Sounds like Research In Motion (rim.com)
is trying to get a free helping hand from the open source world.  Bah,
they are a real company able to hire real developers.  At least when you
write an i P o d app there is a venue for either selling or giving it
away which directly tied to your self or your company.</SOAPBOX>

Verify DNS, and verify that it has a default route, and can ping say
www.google.com or something else.

Well, it could not ... humm ...

So there were a number of things wrong.

I rearranged my network and tightened up my security.  So much that the
mvpmc's mac was not in the routers "ok list" and so, even though the
mvpmc could get a download from the server and it could mount NFS
shares, it couldn't ping the router or the outside world.

Also, the new dhcp server (moved it from a old fedora box to a new
debian box) was not configured correctly.  So the mvpmc /etc/resolv.conf
picked up "example" nameservers which meant nothing.  So fixed that as well.

Now, finally, weather works on the mvpmc for me ... yeah!

-thanks
