Here is the FIX for the IP Observer not connecting. I happened to stumble on it on Ambients site.
Only the Power, Link and ACT lights are lit and the ObserverIP module does not communicate to the server.
The firmware will need to be reloaded.
1. Download the latest firmware here:
http://www.AmbientWeather.com/observerip.html 2. Power down the ObserverIP module but leave connected to your router.
3. Launch the IP Tools application as referenced in Section 3.4.1. Since the module is powered down, you will not be able to locate it on your network, but proceed anyway.
4. Select the Upgrade button.
5. Reference Figure 20. Select the Select File button, and browse to the location of the file you downloaded in Step 1.
6. Select the Upgrade Firmware button.
7. Plug in the ObserverIP module. The software will locate the device on your network and begin the update.
Reference Figure 21. The dialog box will display Received a Read Request from the ObserverIP module. A green progress bar will provide you with the upgrade status.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MOUSE OR KEYBOARD WHEN UPGRADING to prevent interruption of the upgrade.
7. Once the firmware upgrade is complete, the dialog box will display Read session is completed successfully, as shown in Figure 22.
8. Wait about one minute for the ObserverIP module to reboot. You can now Exit the upgrade window, and access the module again, as referenced in Section 3.4.
