Have been working on this RSS News feature to pull the top stories from a website.
I am having an issue and was wondering if any one could help out? Once you have gotten the articles from the rss feed, i have grabbed the link to the full article in an array, I was wanting to be able when you select the story it pop's up with the picture ( working ) and the goes out and gets the full article from the site. Is there a way to open up multiple connections to a website? I keep getting an error saying " Local Port 8 unsupported ". Thanks for the help.

never used RSS News, but im guessing you should create device on port 8

dvLocalPort8 = 0:8:0
Hmm, that's odd.
I beleive most web page data sesssions are pretty short. You basically make a connection, request something, get the 'something' back and then the session is terminated. For a lot of web pages (like msn.com, cnn.com or whatnot where the whole thing is a giant style sheet populated from a relational database with a bunch of minions typing in content 24/7) a single web page may be built from a whole bunch of IP sessions. that's why you see web pages seem to build themselves on your screen in chunks.
The easy way to deal with this in Netlinx is to do your data processing in the OFFLINE: part of the data event. That way your Netlinx master doesn't outrun the communication flow coming from the web server. That's basically what a web browser does anyway.
All that being said, you should be able to do all your communication with a web server from one port.
Hope that helps.
Edited to add: Sorry Dave, I see you must have been typing at the same time I was. I didn't mean to repeat yoru post... :oops

The Web site cited an unidentified source close to the trainer.</p> <p>"We will respond after the report," said Randy Hendricks, the agent for Clemens and Pettitte.</p> <p>The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_3">Los Angeles Times</span> reported in 2006 that Clemens and Pettitte were among the players former major league pitcher <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_4">Jason Grimsley</span> accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, according to a federal agent's affidavit. Clemens and Pettitte have denied the allegations. On Wednesday, Pettitte said "I've not heard a word from anyone" about former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell's investigation.</p> <p>Citing two lawyers familiar with the investigation, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_5">The New York Times</span> reported McNamee also provided information about retired first baseman <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_6">David Segui</span>. On Monday, Segui admitted he used steroids and purchased shipments from former <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_7">New York Mets</span> clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski.</p> <p>Mitchell's report exposes a "serious drug culture within baseball, from top to bottom," fingers MVPs and All-Stars and calls for beefed-up testing by an outside agency to clean up the game.</p> <p>The report by Mitchell will include names of 60 to 80 players linked to performance-enhancing substances and plenty more information that exposes "deep problems" afflicting the sport, one of two sources with knowledge of the findings told the AP. Both sources said the report would not address amphetamines.</p> <p>The two sources were familiar with discussions that led to the final draft but did not want to be identified because it was confidential until its scheduled release. They said the full report, which they had not read, totaled 304 pages plus exhibits.</p> <p>One person familiar with the final version would only speak anonymously but described it as "a very thorough treatment of the subject" and said some aspects were surprising. He said the report assigns blame to both the commissioner's office and the players' union.</p> <p>MLB's "not going to love it, the union's not going to love it," he said.</p> <p>In an e-mail sent to agents Thursday, the union said it would get a copy of the report at 1 p.m. "based on our pledge not to disclose its contents before 2 p.m."</p> <p>"We suggest that, for today at least, you decline general comment on the report and respond only on behalf of a particular player named in the report," the union told the agents.</p> <p>One source said that while the report will cite problems "top to bottom," it also will expose "deep problems, the number of players, high-level MVPs and All-Stars," as well as clubhouse personnel who allowed steroids and other banned substances in clubhouses or knew about it and didn't say anything.</p> <p>The rest of the report, the sources said, focuses on recommendations that include enhanced year-round testing and hiring a drug-testing company that uses the highest standards of independence and transparency. Baseball's program currently is overseen by a joint management-union Health Policy Advisory Committee, with an independent administrator approved by both sides.</p> <p>Mitchell, a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_8">Boston Red Sox</span> director, planned to release his report at 2 p.m. Thursday during a news conference in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_9">New York City</span>. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig was to hold his own news conference a few blocks away 2 1/2 hours later.</p> <p>The report comes at the end of a year when <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_10">San Francisco Giants</span> outfielder <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_11">Barry Bonds</span> broke the career home run record, only to be indicted 100 days later on charges of lying to a federal grand jury about steroid use.</p> <p>It also was expected to recommend that baseball develop a credible program to handle cases with evidence of athletes receiving or taking drugs but not testing positive for them.</p> <p>Just last week, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_12">Kansas City</span>'s <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_13">Jose Guillen</span> and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_14">Baltimore</span>'s <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_15">Jay Gibbons</span> were suspended for the first 15 days of next season, and media reports said they had obtained human growth hormone in 2005, after baseball banned it. <p> Much of the first part of the report will be based on evidence obtained from Radomski, and from information gleaned from the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_16">Albany</span> district attorney's investigation into illegal drug distribution that focused on Signature Pharmacy of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_17">Orlando, Fla</span>., the sources said. <p> Radomski was required to cooperate with the investigation as a condition of his federal plea agreement last April. Radomski pleaded guilty to illegally distributing steroids, HGH, amphetamines and other drugs to players and is awaiting sentencing. Some professional athletes have been linked to the Signature probe, though none have been charged. <p> On Thursday morning at Radomski's <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_18">Long Island</span>, N.Y.-based business, Pro Touch Detail Center, a man who identified himself as Radomski told The Associated Press: "I have no comment. Talk to my lawyer. This is private property. Please leave." <p> Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, reviewed at least part of the report this week to ensure no confidential information from the drug-testing program was disclosed, a person with knowledge of the union's discussion with Mitchell said, also on condition of anonymity. <p> Despite repeated requests by the players' association to Mitchell's law firm, the union had not been allowed to review the report, that person said. <p> "I certainly hope after 21 months and getting zip by way of cooperation from the players' association that they'll come up with some recommendations for improvement," said World Anti-Doping Agency chairman **** Pound. "If not, it's a complete waste of time." <p> But he said he's not sure baseball would follow any recommendations. <p> "My guess is that the management side probably would, but the players' association will dig in and continue its steel-town union approach to life," he said. <p> Agents have said they expect the report to be highly critical of players and the union for largely refusing to cooperate with Mitchell. <p> Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, sent an e-mail to owners and team presidents in advance of the report with instructions how to respond to media inquiries. <p> "We look forward to carefully reading the results of Sen. Mitchell's investigation," the recommended response said. "Protecting the integrity of our game is vital, and we intend to study his findings and recommendations, and will not comment until we have done so." <p> Baseball did not have an agreement to ban steroids until September 2002, did not have testing with penalties until 2004 and did not ban HGH until 2005, when it also instituted a suspension for a first positive test. <p> Mitchell was hired by Selig in March 2006 after the publication of "Game of Shadows," a book by two <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_19">San Francisco Chronicle</span> reporters about Bonds' alleged steroid use. The rise in power in the 1990s, which drew national attention when Mark McGwire and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_20">Sammy Sosa</span> chased <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_21">Roger Maris</span>' single-season record in the Great Home Run Race of 1998, was accompanied by a rise in suspicion. <p> Maris' record of 61 homers had stood since 1961, but McGwire hit 70 that year and Sosa had 66. During the chase, the AP reported McGwire had used <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_22">androstenedione</span>, a supplement then available over the counter that produced testosterone. <p> A bulked-up Bonds then shattered McGwire's record by hitting 73 homers in 2001. <p> ___ <p> AP Sports Writers Eddie Pells in Denver and John Nadel in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_23">Los Angeles</span>, AP Sports Columnist Jim Litke in Chicago and Associated Press Writer Frank Eltman on <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197564405_24">Long Island</span> contributed to this report.</p> <div id="ynactions" class="clearfix">Thanks
