Since this is my second attempt with the Arduino, I am regarded as a new beginning.
Does anyone have a suggestion to get started? A simple guide, really basic guide.
My first attempt I found here Arduino 1-Wire Tutorial
Thank you in advance
Does anyone have a suggestion to get started?
Since the subject line said "ethernet", get an ethernet shield that uses the wiznet w5100 chip. Lots of code available for using this chip.
I ordered a " New ENC28J60 Ethernet Shield for Arduino " medn do not know much more than what is stated in the Ebay ad.
So if someone knows something more specific, come with tips.

Tip: You ordered the wrong ethernet shield for someone new to ethernet.
I would agree with PaulS, having "been there, done that".
But whether you decide to press ahead with the one you have, or get yourself a W5100 shield, there's beginner's stuff... really! (though it may not feel like it!) at...
Use a Wiznet chip based board, so you can make use of the new, official Ethernet library with proper support for DHCP, DNS etc. You will thank yourself for it !

I ordered the ethernet card and my Arduino duemilanove same day, and it was my first Order of the Arduino components.
Will order a new one if I can not find a way to use it.

What is so different about the Wiznet chip based boards? I for one have one of the official Arduino Ethernet shields, but had planned on using the ENC chip on breadboard projects since none of my projects need to be faster than 10Mb/s Is it a matter of different pins? or is there something in the Wiznet chip that makes it special?
is there something in the Wiznet chip that makes it special?
Yes. Built in support for a lot of stuff that makes the ENCJ chip harder to use, since that stuff is done in software, rather than hardware.

Built in support for what? DHCP? DNS? I'm sure those 2 options are nice to have, but I can get by without them. I can easily put a sd card on my boards, and have a config file for that. My router only supports DHCP for I think 32 hosts? So I have plenty of space for static IP addresses. SSL would be nice, but I'm guessing I personally just want to connect to the network and talk to the house server. If I use the ENCJ how hard is it going to be to use the ethernet libraries have they changed that much? Should I grab an earlier copy from the github repo? and if so what's the best one to get?
Built in support for what?
TCP/IP for one thing.
DHCP? DNS?
No and no. These are software features.
SSL would be nice
On an Arduino? Not realistic.
If I use the ENCJ how hard is it going to be to use the ethernet libraries
Which ones? The ones that come with the IDE? Those are specifically for Wiznet-equipped boards.
Should I grab an earlier copy from the github repo? and if so what's the best one to get?
Why? None of the "official" library versions have supported the ENCJ boards.
This arrived today.
The first one I ordered did not come
Anybody have tips for first project (tutorial)
Reading and test what I find on http://arduserver.com/
But does not seem to succeed
