Ethernet shield not connecting to the Webserver - new to Arduino

Hi dxw00d:
Thank you for your observation. I did try SurferTim's suggestion and below is the outcome

  1. Using this line in the code, I got the following compilation error (in red), hence had to include it within the quotes which works fine. Please let me know if that is correct or am I missing something.

client.println("Host: www.mydomain.com"\r\n);

sketch_aug24c:25: error: stray '' in program
sketch_aug24c:25: error: stray '' in program
sketch_aug24c.cpp: In function 'void setup()':
sketch_aug24c:25: error: expected `)' before 'r'

  1. I tried both the following and obtained same results

client.println("Host: http://venard.hostzi.com\r\n");
client.println("Host: www.venard.hostzi.com\r\n");
