Hello all,
So I set up an Arduino Leonardo with the official WiFi Shield, and I uploaded the SimpleWebServerWifi example that is packed with the library.
The green link indicator is on. The device prints it's assigned IP through serial, 192.168.1.12, the link indicator light is on, and I can confirm that the device received this IP through my router.
However, when I try to ping my device, or open the IP in a web browser, I get "host unreachable" or a "could not connect" page.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure the device with the web browser is on the same LAN/WLAN? If it's connected to a different network (different router) it wouldn't be able to reach the LAN/WLAN.
Definitely on the same network.
I want to add that, in the SimpleWebServerWiFi example, it should print "new client" to serial when it receives a http request, and even though I can see other printlns in my serial monitor, and even though I tried to visit the device in a browser, this confirmation is never printed.
I just went to the official WiFi Shield page:
and I downloaded the official "WiFi Shield Library":
http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/WiFiShield_library.zip
I don't see a "SimpleWebServerWiFi" example. The closest I see is "WiFiWebServer".
Are you sure you have the latest version of the right library?
Hmmm, that's odd. I have the example sketch in 1.0.3, I'll copy-paste the code since it seems like it disappeared.
/*
WiFi Web Server LED Blink
A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web.
This sketch will print the IP address of your WiFi Shield (once connected)
to the Serial monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser
to turn on and off the LED on pin 9.
If the IP address of your shield is yourAddress:
http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on
http://yourAddress/L turns it off
This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.
Circuit:
* WiFi shield attached
* LED attached to pin 9

For some reason all it took was resetting the router. Thanks for your help!
