Many thanks for these suggestions. Regarding 1. how do I connect to the datalogger in order to uncheck the "Upload to weatherlink" option? If the weatherlink upload is causing the conflict, I am not clear why this would suddenly start being an issue, but certainly worth trying. On 2, no, I don't have a static IP address for the datalogger, or any other device configured with the same IP address.
