Yes, you are correct. I missed the line where you mentioned changing the host file on your DNS server. That should have worked. Test that DNS is really being served by using a different system on the network to ping the WU server name and see if it resolves to the IP address of the WeeWx system.
Still the GW1000 is a better way. No need for DNS trickery. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
