Hello to you all
I have search the web for the answer for thios question.
Ihave a project running smoth where and arduino mega is reading sensor values and using an php file writing them to a mysql server in my network.
But now I need the same board to control an infrared sensor to act as an remot control. For this I need the board to act as a client do writ the values from the sensors.
But also as a server so that I can send comands for the infrared led.
Is it possible to have arduino to act both as a client and a server ?
I am using arduino mega together with the oficial ethernet board.
Thank You

Old client/server code you will need to update to the current IDE specifications and your board.
