I've got an Arduino Uno (ATMEGA328P) with an ethernet shield stacked on top (ENC28J60 Ethernet Shield); and have not been able to get the ethernet shield working at all!
I've stacked the ethernet shield, pluged the USB and uploaded the webserver sketch found in the 'Example' sketch library on the device. The MAC address has been kept the same as specified (my shield had no printed mac) and I have cycled through so many IP addresses I think I've actualy lost my way home.
When I plug the ethernet to my router (ive tried two sky netgear routers, and a belkin) it is not recognised. The Belkin router "wired" connection lights up, as does the netgear ones, but it lights up an amber light which indicates that there is a wire but no connection.
On the Arduino itself it holds a green light on the ethernet connector and a flashing amber light. I'm so confused, I figured at first it was an IP issue, but after finding local IP address, and cycling through unnamed addresses I still have no hope. When the home address is 192.168.0.1 Ive tried unnamed addresses 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.20 and no hope. This is the same with other addresses used on the other routers where the home address is 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.1. The board does not appear in any of the routers' "attached devices" lists.
Please can someone help me on this? Is my ethernet shield just dead or something? I'm at my wits end right now, and I know you loverly people are my best hope at getting to the end of this head-scratcher!
