hello
My weather, news, finance, travel and maps tiles can never connect to internet even though I can, at the same time, browse and download. I tried to figure it out in many ways but failed eventually . When I click any of those tiles, it opens and a message pops up and says the app cannot connect to the internet. The network indicator on top-right side of the tile also shows 'Offline'. The tiles show sample data only. My computer gets
automatically connected to internet after log in. So the tiles should have got connected. I'm really frustrated now
I have windows 8 pro and I searched many forums and tried many methods to fix this problem but it did not work. Please give me a solution ..

after many tries I find that when I am connecting to wireless networks and use "freegate" all apps work just fine
But mostly I use my 3g network .. I think there are some settings with proxy or internet options causing this problem
any ideas?

Perhaps the setting "Sync over metered connections" would be relevant in your case.

Check this first before messing with the firewall settings. Go into the Control Panel, then Internet Options, click on the Connections Tab, then the LAN SETTINGS button, if Use a Proxy Server is checked, un-check it. and then check the box for Automatically detect settings. The Proxy Setting is not used in a home setup, but if you are connecting to the internet from a business that routes internet traffic via a server then the proxy settings may be needed and you should check with the IT department to verify that the settings are correct. But for most users, the proxy server is never needed, and if is is enabled then Metro will not connect out to the internet. let us know if that worked.
