Ds18S20 is connected between pin 1 and pin 3.
I have moved it to the main port.

Since I´m using DS18S20-PAR I don´t think it so good ide to supply pover
to pin 3 since its internally connected to pin 1.

I´m using the 6-channel master hub from hobby-boards
(http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=33),
and as I worte ealrier it work just fine with other software like
igitemp so i doubt that there is an hardwareproblem.
