Hi all!
I have a Duemilanove and an Ethernet Shield and I try to test the Ethernet library Server

I use this code for testing it:

Code:

#include <Ethernet.h>

// network configuration.  gateway and subnet are optional.
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 0, 177 };
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 0, 1 };
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 };

// telnet defaults to port 23
Server server = Server(23);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(19200);
  Serial.println("Monitorizacion iniciada");
  // initialize the ethernet device
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
  Serial.println("Conexion de red inicializada");
  // start listening for clients
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("Esperando peticiones");
}

void loop()
{
  Client client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    Serial.println("Procesando peticion");
    client.println("Bienvenidos al servidor telnet. Soy una arduino, hola!");
    server.write(client.read());
  }
  else {
    Serial.println(client);
  }
}

The weird thing is that client is allways 0

I try to ping the board with pretty success but I never could connect it by browser nor telnet

I try several examples but never works

Could it be a hardware problem?

How can I debug the code to try to understand where the problem is?

Thank you so much!

What's at the other end of the ethernet cable?  How is that device's network configured?

[Reply #2 on:]

Mi config:

I work with a MacBook 2.4Gh aluminium
then a router
then the arduino

I try to connect them directly (the macbook ethernet changes automatically the cable assignement if you plug a device directly)

All the configuration is pretty simple this is what it turns me crazy

[Reply #3 on:]

Try connecting them directly and manually assigning the MacBook an IP like 192.168.0.2 and a subnet of 255.255.255.0.  You might also try turning off wireless on the MacBook.  Did you try the WebServer example?

This is the terminal input/output for the test:

As you can see then I try to connect with the board via telnet a time out error is raised but if I try to ping it all goes as expected

I try every single example I can found because it seems to be a hardware problem

In my original post I try to figure out how can I debug the code (the library one specifically) because I don't have arduino experience but I'm a programmer since I was a kid

What I need is to determine if the ethernet board is ok or if it has a failure or a bug or it's crashed

Thanks a lot!

Don't you need to include

Client.h
Server.h

?

[Reply #6 on:]

I try it but without success (you could do Sketch / Import Library but don't work so much)

[Reply #7 on:]

I have the same problem here with that board. When I upload a code that uses ethernet.h, the L led goes crazy, but the board gets configured with the IP address described. Also the Wiznet chip on the ethernet shield heats up a lot.

[Reply #8 on:]

My ethernet shield is working fine and the Wiznet chip does get a little warm as well so I'm assuming that's normal. After about an hour of being powered on the chip's surface temp is about 44C so it's warm, not hot.

[Reply #9 on:]

I have the same problem infact the client is always 0 but i don't know why.do you find a solution???

[Reply #10 on:]

More people seem to be having these types of problems with the Ethernet shield. See my post here for more details on the long delay bug: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1238295170
