Now that I'm home I'm able to capture a screen grab from the Gateway Advanced Setup. The first image shows the exact configuration I see when I hit Set and then Reboot.
That looks good. Don't change anything on the gateway module or GAS.
The second grab shows the alternate PC-IP in the drop-down box. But you can see that everything else is either blank or zero when I select that - so I don't.
You can ignore that one too. You may have a second network port on your PC that you are not using - this is probably it.
Do you have another PC on your LAN that you can try a test on?
Try to enter the full IP address URL (not the localhost one) into a browser from another PC on your LAN. If your network is not blocking port 8000, then you should see the mini-web site in the browser. This test will not work if you are not on-site, unless you do some heroic stuff with your router.
I hope this is of some help. I'm kind of tempted to re-register to the LaCrosse site since I may have messed that up - but I think I'll wait to hear from you before making a bigger mess.
Don't do that - you'll just waste trouble shooting time. You will remain "registered" with them forever. Nothing SkySpy does changes that.
SkySpy is a "clone" of the LaCrosse web server. GAS simply redirects your weather station Gateway module to send its data to the SkySpy PC and the SkySpy Service instead of LaCrosse. SkySpy then fakes out the Gateway module into thinking it is talking to LaCrosse by mimicking all the chit-chat that LaCrosse uses to retrieve your weather data.
So in a nutshell, "registration" has no meaning for SkySpy, since there are no revenue protection issues like LaCrosse has. They want to verify that you have a valid account with them. SkySpy is free and doesn't care about any of that stuff.
You do have to configure SkySpy with your current registration number issued by LaCrosse. This number will change each time you "re-register", so don't re-register! If you use the wrong registration number, SkySpy and the Gateway will jabber to one another continuously, your weather station wall display clock will start to drift, and the "Internet" indicator next to the time of day numbers will shut off.
If you have already re-registered, make sure you use the 7FFFxxxxxxxx number that was last issued by LaCrosse. This number is stored/refreshed in your Gateway module each time you re-register.
I explain in the manual about how you go about retrieving your 7FFFxxxxxxxxxxxx number from LaCrosse.
I hope this makes sense!
One other thing... Can you email me your SkySpy.ini file, found in C:\ProgramData\SkySpyData
You can send it to me at
skyspyATidk-inc.com
Replace AT with the appropriate character for email addresses.
If you are paranoid, you can replace your passwords with xxxxxx in the INI file before you send it to me but don't touch anything else! Use Notepad or some other simple text editor. Do not use a word processor!
Best regards,
