Hi there.
I have connected Mega 2560 + Ethernet Shield according to instructions:
Arduino communicates with both the W5100 and SD card using the SPI bus (through the ICSP header). This is on digital pins 10, 11, 12, and 13 on the Uno and pins 50, 51, and 52 on the Mega. On both boards, pin 10 is used to select the W5100 and pin 4 for the SD card. These pins cannot be used for general I/O. On the Mega, the hardware SS pin, 53, is not used to select either the W5100 or the SD card, but it must be kept as an output or the SPI interface won't work.
I uploaded standard WebClient example changing only serial port number and uncommenting
Ethernet.init(10); // Most Arduino shields
and I get the error:
Ethernet shield was not found. Sorry, can't run without hardware.

What can I do to connect to network?
I have tried two different network cables and the lights seems to be on
