Godaddy run their websites in a medium trust code policy. This only allows for a single designated external location, and will also stop code that uses screenscaping working such as the comics and weather. Theres a new document with 3.0.10 in the documentation folder called "DotNetNuke Code Access Security.doc" that explains this, and some mechanisms you can use to try to access external resources such as feeds..

Thanks again for the help. You hit the nail on the head. In my case with HostMySite, I only needed to change my web.config file to:

<trust level="High"...   (was set to "Medium")


In a nutshell for those after me stumbling into this:

- Non-Local Web services (including the News Feeds module) need a Trust Level of at least "High".

- If not constrained by the host (see below), set the Trust Level to High in the web.config file (located in the root, such as www.myportal.com/):

<trust level="High"...   (was set to "Medium")

Once this configuration change is recognized, non-local web services will no longer be blocked unless restricted at a higher level, as follows.

- The machine.config file, located at:

systemroot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\versionNumber\CONFIG

where versionNumber is the asp.net version number (v1.1.4322 is the version for asp.net 1.1),

sets the initial Trust Level and can disallow level overrides, such as:

<trust level="Medium" allowOveride="false" ...  

In the case, you want to either change the level to High or allowOveride to true.

However, you may not have access to, or be allowed to change this restriction (especially in some shared host environments).

In this case, reference DNN's Code Access Security documentation for settings to allow access to one or more explicit non-local URIs for web services. Then discuss with your host (who "should" be willing to allow access to "reasonable" resources).
