Net connections not finding my ip address, I have already disabled virus scan and opened mac OSx firewall to x-plane 9

Question

running OS X 10.11.6, recently reinstalled x-plane 9. Cannot download metar.rwx I think because net connections is not finding an IP address for my computer. It is just listed as 0.0.0.0.

Answer 1

It is actually a known issue that the URL for the metar download is broken in X-Plane 9. The government site that we get the report from changed the URL and didn't include forwarding.
