I am completley new to the arduino, dont even have one yet, but eager to start soon. one question that i have, and it's mostly software related. Using the arduino uno with a ethershield, can data from a weather station be uploaded to wunderground.com as personal weather station data? Here is the pws upload protocol...

Like i said, i am really new to the arduino, but have been working with the propeller for quite awhile, so i think my transition will be fairly painless. is there code examples that would show me how to do this? Thanks in advance!

That should be fairly straightforward. Grab the arduino ethernet library here: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Ethernet
You'll need to have the IP of the weatherunderground server, you can find that with an http://who.is lookup. Then connect to that server as a client:

byte mac[] = { 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA }; //put your mac here
byte ip[] = { 00, 0, 0, 000 }; //put your IP here
byte server[] = { 00, 00, 00, 00 }; // Put the IP of weather underground here.
Client client(server, 80); // create a client object

in the setup function:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);

Then you can send an update in the loop using the info on the weather underground wiki:
client.println("GET /weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php?action=something&id=something&PASSWORD=something&....");

Hope that helps! PS. I also used the propeller before the arduino!

Chapter 10 Arduino Ethernet Programming
in Programming Arduino Getting Started with Sketches by Simon Monk .

Also seek out the support files for ethernet shield vendors like spartfun and adafruit.
