David, I have 2 suggestions about your network problems with your IP datalogger :
1. By default, the IP datalogger will periodically send sensor real-time data and datalogger archive data to weatherlink.com servers. Weewx needs exclusive access to the IP datalogger. You may try to disable the upload to weatherlink servers by connecting to the datalogger using a web browser and uncheck the "Upload to weatherlink.com" option. Concerning the exclusive access needed by weewx, are you using any other software (Weatherlink software or any other) that connects to the IP datalogger and that may break the weewx-datalogger pipe ? 2. Is the IP logger configured with a static IP address ? If it is the case, check that you don't have any other network device configured statically with the same IP address. Check also that the address range of the DHCP server of your router does not overlap with the static IP address of the datalogger.
