ESP8266 won't work without connection to computer

Hi, i got my ESP8266 a couple of days ago and have connected it to a ds18b20 thermometer.
When i use my usb-serial board and connect everything like in this picture: (minus gnd to gpio0) i can look at the console in ESPlorer and i see that it connects to wifi, and send temperature to my server.
This also continues if i close the connection in ESPlorer.
But when i try to connect everything to a breadboard power-supply i have, nothing happens. The red led indicating power lights, but it does not send anything to my webserver.
I connect +3.3 to Vcc, GND to - and gpio0 to ds18b20. Am i doing something wrong here?
Here is a image of my setup: (only i use a power supply).
This is my first take at the ESP8266, so i apologize if this are stupid/obvious questions.
