i have a problem, my eth shield appears to be functioning(orange link light, and flickering green traffic light) but i cannot ping it, nor am i getting ANYTHING at all in the serial window. my pins are the correct length(didnt have to trim them) as the shield pins bottom out on the mega2560.
i think my router may be trying to assign an IP, but i am manually setting the IP in the sketch.... how do i avoid this? is there a way to set the shield to accept an IP from the router?
Regards
Jason
