Arduino -> LAN (Vodafone HG553wifi router) -> Server Apache -> database

Hi to all and tank you or any suggestion.

I'm trying to estabilish a communication from Arduino (R3)dressing a Wifi Shield (R3) to server Apache, on my LAN.

I have:
1 - Server apache, PHPmyAdmin, MySQL, installed by a Bitnami WAMP Stack.
2 - Lan created by a router wifi: Vodafone Station HG553
3 - Arduino (R3) & WifiShield (R3) (connected by USB to PC).

I tried at first the example code supplied by Arduino.cc: ConnectWithWPA

By this code I succeed to connect Arduino to Vodafone Station
I correctly read the WifiShield MAC address within connected clients (on the router page: hhtp://192.168.0.1)

Then I tried to connect Wifishield to server by another sample code by Arduino.cc: WiFiWebClient

In this case, I didn't succeed to connect arduino to Google (nor using ip adress of google).
I think this ip is incorrect, but I don't know any way to verify a right connection from Arduino to a Local or remote server.

I need to connect Arduino to my local server (pc with a Wamp server), by LAN created by the Vodafone Station, but I can't connect Arduino to any server, so I need to resolve this at first.

Tank you to all or any suggestion.

What IDE version are you using?
Did you upgrade the wifi shield firmware?

If you are using IDE v1.0.4 or newer, you must use firmware v1.1.0. Otherwise you will not be able to connect to any server.

I apologize..
tank you.

Ok.
I correctly connected my Arduino to Google page.

Now I would try to connect to my local server (Bitnami WAMP Stack).
I think there are two ways:

  1. sending a query (as in WiFiWebClient) through the Web and reaching my local server by a Dinamic DNS service (as No-IP).
  2. sending the query on local network (LAN), reaching the local server directly inside the LAN offered by the Vodafone Station HG553.

I tried the 1° method by Dinamic DNS offered by NO-IP (free) service, but I can't connect to server.
(I changed the Google address with the dinamic IP given by No-Ip redirecting. but it doesn't work)

I have a vague idea about 2° method: i don't know esactly how Arduino can be fowarded by the router on my server (local pc).
The local Pc (server wamp) as ip: 192.168.1.5
I tried a scratch similar to the WiFiWebClient, changing the google address with the Wamp server local IP address..
..but I failed!

In both cases I'm sure (by realtime monitor) that I failed to connect to server.

have you any suggestion?
(I don't explain in detail because I listed two method, so you can suggest me which you prefer)
