zoomkat, thanks for info. I've created file below, please check it through in case I'm making a mistake.
//zoomkat 11-13-10
//simple ethernet client test code
//for use with IDE 0021 and W5100 ethernet shield
//modify the arduino lan ip address as needed
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//push the shield reset button to run client again
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
byte mac[] = {0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x00, 0x11, 0xAC };
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 19 };
byte server[] = { 192,168,1,20 }; // zoomkat
Client client(server, 80);
void setup()
{
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("starting simple arduino client test");
Serial.println();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
if (client.connect()) {
Serial.println("connected");
client.println("GET /http://192.168.1.20/var/www/arduino.txt HTTP/1.0");
client.println();
} else {
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop()
{
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
Serial.println("==================================");
Serial.println("");
client.stop();
for(;;);
}
}
and the responce I get back
starting simple arduino client test
connecting...
