Can you help trouble shoot Sharper Image Internet Weather Station EC-WS115?

I got this as a gift. It came without a software disk. After emailing customer support I got a link to the the following software:

http://www.box.net/shared/static/6o8ihesobp.exe

I downloaded this software.  It brings up the software images on my screen ... I can enter my home location in the software ... but the software never connects to the internet ... so I star all over again.  The installation and troubleshooting guide for this software can be found at:

This gadget is supposedly compatible with Windows 7.  I am running Windows 7 Pro on my HP Computer.

    Same problem here.  Its been down for the past 4 days (the software itself is not pulling any date) but the date is showing 11/3.

    It has been working fine for the past 2 months...  Its almost June 2nd and still not working though...

    Hi Stefan

    http://www.esqsoft.com/javascript\_examples/date-to-epoch.htm

    is a different converter

    1338593037 converts to Fri Jun 1 19:23:57 EDT 2012local time

    This site gives the code as well.

    You and I seem a lot alike in that we expect things to work properly. I traveled the world troubleshooting mainframe network issues and file transfer software, mostly in Africa and South America. Programmers the world over reject inconsistencies which reminds me of the story of an English mathematician who was reported to remain standing at the bottom of two spiral staircases in an opera house trying to determine logically which side to take. The observer did not mention if/how a conclusion was reached.   Ed

    I have the same weather station here...Model # EC-WS115.

    I also have the software disk that came with it and love the thing...works great and never had issues with it.

    If you would like a copy let me know via my Aol email...  *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

    I have a downloaded ver NIS01_NSTALL_2380  ver 1.0.0.0 or 1.01

    I would like to try yours if different or newer

    I am running w7 64

    How can I get a copy of yours.

    The new rar file from sharper image is v 1.02 and I now have it but I still have the problem every one else is having. my date is 11/4 with changing times (no temps)

    For me I was switching computers.  It always worked on my previous, which was Windows xp 32 bit.  My new cpu was same OS but for some reason, tried and tried to no avail.  However, reading your post, I decided to try and run the program based upon Windows 2000 compatibility.  Seems dumb, but worked.  I figured the software seems Windows 2000'ish. lol.  thanks for something try anwyay.
