The Acurite Bridge is running it own web server on port 80. It basically 
just shows you the MAC address of the Bridge along with the firmware and 
hardware versions. Since my TCPflow command is sniffing any traffic and 
trying to parse it from that IP address on port 80 it grabs the traffic and 
kills weewx. For most uses its not a big deal. I have no need to see the 
firmware version or the hardware version.

Blocking the port 80 at the router would not work in my circumstance. I 
have a raspberry pi running wth 2 ethernet cards acting in bridge mode. It 
is between the accurate bridge and the router. It sniffs all traffic being 
sent from the acurite bride on port 80 that is headed to myacurite and 
parses that information, along with sending it off to Myacurite so I can 
still access that interface.

Thanks,
Brad
