Arduino Ethernet - TCP IP Questions

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

@PaulS & @ieee488 That makes a lot of sense.
I just wanted to make sure you knew that I am not just trying to print the characters.

I made the modification suggested.
This is how I started out initially.
It prints the correct message.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
  server.begin(); 
  client = server.available();
}

void loop() {
  char inByte;
  char message[sizeMessage];
  int bytes;
  
  while(!client){
    client = server.available();
  }
  
  if(client.available()){
    char c = client.read();
    Serial.print(c);
    }
  }

The code that I posted previously was my attempt to collect the characters into a message that could be used later for things like analog output.

Thank you for the help.
