...just to add on..

WV32's main function is to send/place weather data and images to your personal website.  Like any software push to the web, you must provide the basic info such as account name, password and file directory location at the personal website location.

You can also use it to just feed other weather sites like WU.  The same info is required.  You would need to first talk to WU and sign up for an account.  Then fill in that info into the WU tab inside WV32. 

The main difference between the two is that using the personal website interface allows more choice as to how your data/site looks.  Although WU is a excellent way to push your data to the net, you don't have much in the way of controlling how it all looks.

Hope this helps.

Find the setup tab inside WV32.  Find the WU data feed (Pro version).  Provide station ID and password.  You can also designate the frequency of the data upload.  If you don't know your WU info, check with WU.

Your AT&T account info (account name,password,and file directory) is only needed if that's where you have a personal website and want WV32 to send html pages and images there.  WV32 performs a auto check to determine if there is a connection to the net.  If your pc has a connection to the net (wired or wirless) you should be fine.
