no aquanotes. I turned off DHCP on my mac, turned of DHCP on my router, then sat at my wifes PC and ran the .exe. doubled check user/pass IP etc etc.

what else might be using DHCP?

Oh i also turned off the firewall

yahoo or vista widget/gadget?
 
There is an alternate method that sometimes works better...

Download http://www.neptunesys.com/tftpd32.exe and follow these steps to update:

Put the tftpd32.exe executable, and the aqua.bin file from the firmware update package into the same directory.
Run the tftpd.exe application.
Make sure that the current directory field points to the directory where you extract the zip file.
On the DHCP server tab:
Make the IP pool starting address an unused IP address on your local
network (usually something like 192.168.1.50).
Set the netmask (usually 255.255.255.0)
Make the size of pool equal to 1 or more.
Set the boot file to aqua.bin
Click the save button.

Make sure that no other DHCP server is running on your local network.

Using the update command
1. download and unzip the firmware archive
2. run ACLOADER.EXE
3. Open a command prompt and telnet into the AC3
4. type 'v' then hit ENTER; note the firmware version
5. type 'update' then ENTERr
6. press 'y' when prompted
7. watch the ACLOADER window... in the white area, you should something see this:

.....................
Client 192.168.xxx.xxx:xxxx .\aqua.bin, 211 Blocks Served

8. wait 10 seconds, then hit ENTER a couple of times until you see "Connection to host lost".
9. telnet into the AC3 again
10. type 'v' then ENTER; note the new firmware version
11. type 'exit' then ENTER
 
can you expand the scale of the graphs on the webserver? I have the time interval at 10min, and it gives me like 2-3days of graph. I am pretty sure there is more logged than that, since the iphone shows... basicly everything since the last reset I think.

so can I zoom out on the graph on the webserver?

My graphs show everything that is in the datalog.... right now, it's showing a bit over 5 days worth; as far as I can tell, the graphs show all available data when loaded. You can zoom IN by clicking and dragging over the desired graph span.

Is there a new location for the beta firmware? I'm getting a 404 error for the url given back on page 10. Thanks.

Curt pulled the beta until the freezing issue is resolved.

I believe so. Turn back to Page 14 of this thread and look at Curt's post dated 06/04/2009 09:30 AM (at least for me in the US Central timezone).
 
THE UPDATE METHOD

THE UPDATE METHOD

Thank you to Russ and Ken (not sure to whom to give credit), however, this method is by far the easiest and straight forward

1. download and unzip the firmware archive
2. run ACLOADER.EXE
3. Open a command prompt and telnet into the AC3 (telnet ipaddress)
4. type 'v' then hit ENTER; note the firmware version
5. type 'update' then ENTER
6. press 'y' when prompted
7. watch the ACLOADER window... in the white area, you should something see this:

.....................
Client 192.168.xxx.xxx:xxxx .\aqua.bin, 211 Blocks Served

8. wait 10 seconds, then hit ENTER a couple of times until you see "Connection to host lost".
9. telnet into the AC3 again
10. type 'v' then ENTER; note the new firmware version
11. type 'exit' then ENTER

We've got a new beta release (hopefully the last). It has been very solid during a testing in house, and with the initial beta testers. If you are not comfortable with testing beta firmware then just wait a bit longer for it to become final. Here are the download links:

Here is the latest beta:

AC3:
www.neptunesys.com/aqua3_6B09_3.4.zip

AC3Pro:
www.neptunesys.com/aqua3pro_6B09_3.4.zip

Curt

Nice! Thanks, Curt! Just upgraded and went by without a hitch!

how is it working so far?

I had my AC3 updated minutes after Curt's announcement - so far, everything is fine. I had zero issues with the prior betas as well.
