Ethernet shield problems! Time to update library?

Answer the questions I posted several replies ago and maybe someone can help. But if you just want to complain that it doesn't work and not participate then no one will be able to help.

As a refresher, here are the questions again:

  • What operating system are you using on your computer?
  • What is your computer's IP address?
  • What's your subnet or netmask?
  • What's your gateway address?
  • How are you connecting your Ethernet Shield to the network? Is it connected to a hub/switch, or is the cable connecting directly to your computer?
  • Which LED's light up solidly when you plug the network cable into the Ethernet Shield?
  • Do the TX and RX LED's show any activity?

Additionally:

  • What IP address are you assigning to the Ethernet Shield in your sketch?
  • What is the subnet address you're assigning in your sketch?
  • What is the gateway address you're assigning in your sketch?
  • If you ping the IP address assigned in the sketch from your computer, what do you get?

Please also include the example sketch you're trying to use (that will answer the first 3 additional questions). There's been so much code included in the various topics that it's unclear what code you're trying to run.
