Why my network shield doesn't want to connect with my WEBServer based on apache, php and mysql (XAMPP Installer)?
My WEBServer has the following parameters:
IP: 192.168.1.2;
SM: 255.255.255.0;
GW: 192.168.1.1;
DNS1: 8.8.8.8 (google1);
DNS2: 8.8.4.4 (google2);

Yesterday it worked, today not anymore. Ovviously yesterday night i powered off my PC.
It works only if i connect it with a second level domain (www.google.com, www.altervista.org...)

The code is the following:

Code:

const int analogInPin = A0;

float sensorValue = 0;
float outputValue = 0;

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#define rs  8
#define enable 6

#define d4  5
#define d5  4
#define d6  3
#define d7  2

#define  ROW 4
#define  COL 20

int i = 0;
int red = 78;
int green = 79;
int blue = 80;
int red2 = 81;
int green2 = 82;
int blue2 = 83;
int buzzer = 84;
byte mac[] = { 0x00,0x18,0x3E,0x00,0xFB,0x43 };
byte ip[] = { 192,168,1,4 };
byte gateway[] = { 192,168,1,1 };

unsigned long time;

If your server is not localnet, this will not work.

Code:

  Ethernet.begin(mac,ip,gateway,subnet,dns1,dns2);

It should be this.

Code:

  Ethernet.begin(mac,ip,dns1,gateway,subnet);

Might also be that case, but are the same.

No. The parameters in order are

Code:

Ethernet.begin(mac_address, ip_address, dns_server, gateway, subnet)

How do you see that as the same? You are setting your gateway to 255.255.255.0.

My WebClient example says:

Code:

  Ethernet.begin();                                   // DHCP is used, default ENCX24J600 (ENC24J60) MAC address
//  Ethernet.begin(mac);                                // DHCP is used
//  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);                            // Static IP, gateway equal to the IP with the last byte set to 1 => IP[3].IP[2].IP[1].1
//  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway);                   // default subnet 255.255.255.0
//  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);           // default dns1 is equal to gateway, some router/gateways act as DNS servers
//  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet, dns1);     // default dns2 is 0.0.0.0
//  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet, dns1, dns2);

I followed examples and it works correctly, so... it's ok!

I have bad news for you and the person who wrote that example. If you are using the ethernet library included with the IDE, this is really how it is:

Code:

int begin(uint8_t *mac_address);
void begin(uint8_t *mac_address, IPAddress local_ip);
void begin(uint8_t *mac_address, IPAddress local_ip, IPAddress dns_server);
void begin(uint8_t *mac_address, IPAddress local_ip, IPAddress dns_server, IPAddress gateway);
void begin(uint8_t *mac_address, IPAddress local_ip, IPAddress dns_server, IPAddress gateway, IPAddress subnet);

This was copied and pasted from Ethernet.h

Later on, you will post again with something like "It works on my localnet server, but not on the internet. Why not?"
