The error shows that the driver could not contact your GW1000 for some reason, once the driver had everything required to connect to the GW1000 the GW1000 did not respond. It could have happened for any number of reasons; the GW1000 driver may have been using an incorrect address when trying to connect to the GW1000, the GW1000 may have changed address or the network may have experienced a problem. Impossible to say more without knowing exact config details both of the driver and your GW1000/network config.
Things to try. You could set loop_on_init = True <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#General> in weewx.conf so that WeeWX will wait 60 seconds when the driver fails to load and then try again. If the issue is transient in nature this may work but if it is something more permanent then it likely will just cause WeeWX to loop indefinitely. You could try configuring your network such that the GW1000 uses a static IP rather than having the GW1000 driver locate the GW1000 via network broadcast.
