Hello All;

My Meteohub has been working flawlessly for over the past 13 months. I just moved from a cable modem connection to a DSL connection. The router and wireless access point remained the same. So only the actual modem was swapped out.

The Meteohub makes all the same familiar beeps when booting up and I can see it listed at the same IP address as in the past. This said, I cannot log into the Meteohub web interface and none of my weather data is making it up to Wunderground or the other sites I had it configured for.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot or what might be wrong?

Thank you.

can you login via ssh? putty for example. user root, pw meteohub.

What does "dmesg" and "df" reply?

I will try this when I get home and post the output here.

Here you go:

You will need to setup a new USB stick.

I am not Linux hack. Are there easy instructions on how to build a new image on a USB stick (will any USB memory stick work)?

Thank you

Please start with chapter 1.1.3 of the manual:
http://www.meteohub.de/joomla/index.php ... &Itemid=29

OK. Built 2Gb image on 4Gb USB drive (4GB did not quite fit). Can log in via ssh, but still not accessible via web browser. I need to change IP to 192.168.2.x network. No setip found. Any thoughts?

as you can see from dmesg, there is no USB stick recognized or mounted. I guess that USB stick is not setup correctly. Did you use DiskImage in "physical disk" mode when making the stick?

Yes, I did use "physical disk" when making the stick. I received the message that the image was completed successfully. I hate the thought of picking up another unit, but this is getting really frustrating.

What OS are you using? Vista is known to have trouble with this kind of low level writing.

I am using Windows XP.

Hm, that is not making sense. Your dmesg log indicates that the USB stick is not correctly recognized during boot.

An explanation for that might be...
a) that you didn't scrolled down the device list when using diskimage to select the device in "physical disk" mode
b) or that you selected the wrong device (not your stick) with diskimage
c) or you forgot to unrar the image before feeding it to diskimage

Could you please give me the name and md5sum of the unrared diskimage, that you used.

meteohub-v4.5-2GB.dd

I will have to run the md5sum when I get home later.

The md5sum is:

93fc732edbf1d9d74c2b12c84f2cfc7a
