[Solved] - SurferTim could you help me please?

If I remove the ICMPPing stuff, it works. I don't have that library installed.

edit: Which ethernet shield and library are you using? I had to change one of the includes (EthernetUdp.h) to get it to compile.

It is starting to fail about half the time. You may be accessing the NTP server too often. I changed the NTP server domain and increased the delay to 10 seconds.

Here is the code I got to work:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <EthernetUdp.h>
//#include <ICMPPing.h>
#include <SdFat.h>
const uint8_t SD_CHIP_SELECT = 4;
SdFat sd;
SdFile myFile;

IPAddress pingAddr(8, 8, 8, 8); // ip address to ping

byte mac[] = {
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED
};

unsigned int localPort = 8888;       // local port to listen for UDP packets

char timeServer[] = "pool.ntp.org"; // time.nist.gov NTP server

const int NTP_PACKET_SIZE = 48; // NTP time stamp is in the first 48 bytes of the message

byte packetBuffer[ NTP_PACKET_SIZE]; //buffer to hold incoming and outgoing packets

// A UDP instance to let us send and receive packets over UDP
EthernetUDP Udp;

SOCKET pingSocket = 0;

char obuf[256];
// ICMPPing ping(pingSocket, (uint16_t)random(0, 255));

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
  
  if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
    Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
    // no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
    for (;;)
      ;
  }
  Udp.begin(localPort);
  Serial.println("Enet begin success");

  sendNTPpacket(timeServer); // send an NTP packet to a time server
  Serial.println("sendNTPpacket(timeServer)");
  // wait to see if a reply is available
  delay(1000);
  if ( Udp.parsePacket() ) {
    // We've received a packet, read the data from it
    Udp.read(packetBuffer, NTP_PACKET_SIZE); // read the packet into the buffer

    //the timestamp starts at byte 40 of the received packet and is four bytes,
    // or two words, long. First, esxtract the two words:

    unsigned long highWord = word(packetBuffer[40], packetBuffer[41]);
    unsigned long lowWord = word(packetBuffer[42], packetBuffer[43]);
    // combine the four bytes (two words) into a long integer
    // this is NTP time (seconds since Jan 1 1900):
    unsigned long secsSince1900 = highWord << 16 | lowWord;
    Serial.print("Seconds since Jan 1 1900 = " );
    Serial.println(secsSince1900);

    // now convert NTP time into everyday time:
    Serial.print("Unix time = ");
    // Unix time starts on Jan 1 1970. In seconds, that's 2208988800:
    const unsigned long seventyYears = 2208988800UL;
    // subtract seventy years:
    unsigned long epoch = secsSince1900 - seventyYears;
    // print Unix time:
    Serial.println(epoch);


    // print the hour, minute and second:
    Serial.print("The UTC time is ");       // UTC is the time at Greenwich Meridian (GMT)
    Serial.print((epoch  % 86400L) / 3600); // print the hour (86400 equals secs per day)
    Serial.print(':');
    if ( ((epoch % 3600) / 60) < 10 ) {
      // In the first 10 minutes of each hour, we'll want a leading '0'
      Serial.print('0');
    }
