At this point you're basically firing a shotgun multiple times and praying
you hit something. You're just firing away blindly.
You have no chance of success taking that approach. You need to slow down
and do things in an orderly fashion.
So lets see where you're at...
- Your windows computer is 192.168.0.219 (fine but totally irrelevant to
weewx on your linux box)
- Your linux computer is 192.168.0.143
- Your router is 192.168.0.1
- What is the ip address of the Weatherlink IP device you want weewx to
connect to ?
Look at your weewx.conf file. You will see a stanza that looks something
like the following:
[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP)
type = serial
# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
# Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name
# BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is
required:
host = 1.2.3.4
Yours probably sets connection_type = ethernet which is fine. I 'think'
you need to change the 'host = n.n.n.n' line to have the ip address of your
Weatherlink IP device, then weewx should likely work unless your
firewalling blocks it from working or you have something pretty obscure in
your network.
Start slowly. Don't change more than one thing at a time. Breathe.
- what is the ip address of the Weatherlink IP device ?
- from the Windows box, can you ping that address ?
- from the Linux box, can you ping that address ?
- (if so, your network is ok and your computers are ok....probably...)
If your Linux box can ping the Weatherlink IP device, make sure you have
connection_type = ethernet, and the 'host = n.n.n.n' line should have the
'target' device IP address in it....not the weewx host address. That's
probably where you're getting all wrapped around the axle.
Give it a try.
