Error compiling.
I have only had these problems since upgrading to 1.5.8 Is that my issue?
Just downloaded all the libraries and attempted to compile (on various versions of the IDE) and I'm getting errors all over the place. At first glance it appears that Ethernet.h and UdpBytewise.h are duplicating definitions. (and hence causing errors)
OK So looking through the Ethernet Library that I have, it appears to cover what is available in the udpBytewise library. Maybe udpBytewise is an old library that's no longer compatible with the new ethernet library?
Anyhow with a few modifications I managed to get it to compile but I'm not especially confident that it'll work. Basically what I did was:
Added
EthernetUDP ethUDP;
Remarked out: #include <ethUDP.h> // UDP library from: bjoern@cs.stanford.edu 12/30/2008 #if UDP_TX_PACKET_MAX_SIZE <64 || UDP_RX_PACKET_MAX_SIZE < 64 #error : UDP packet size to small - modify ethUDP.h to set buffers to 64 bytes #endif
In Setup
ethUDP.begin(1800); // just a random port address
Global search and replace of UdpBytewise with ethUDP
Then had to change ethUDP.write commands to specifically cast the arguments as (bytes)
Apparently it's ambiguous otherwise :\
BTW the function unsigned long sendNTPpacket(byte *address) still doesn't return anything! (not my fault)
And if this thing works it'll be a * miracle. But I don't have the hardware to even begin to test it.

Error compiling.
mind boggling that I cannot find another example of a NTP synced clock (Ethernet.h plus Time.h)
I use NTP on my Mega using either an ethernet shield or wifi shield, and it keep great time, even without a system clock (RTC). It stays within a couple seconds of the correct time.
Have you tried the UdpNtpClient sketch in the examples? Does it get the correct time?
I haven't tried this on IDE v1.5.8 tho. Seemed to work on earlier v1.5.x and v1.0.x versions.
thanks Tim... I tried your recommendation on UdpNtpClient and could not compile either:
I must have screwed up my libraries importing UdpBytewise.h or there is a problem with 1.5.8 and these libs
errors from UdpNtpClient

I can't get to my computer that has the Arduino IDEs on it right now. I do have v1.5.8 installed on it already. It will be several hours before I can get to it, but I will try the UdpNtpClient example sketch for you then. I'll post here when I do the test.
If that works, I'll try my time sketch and if it works, I'll post it here for you.
Time.h has problems with IDE v1.5.8. My version doesn't throw as many errors as yours does, but it won't compile. It complains about two PROGMEM month and day array variables in the DateStrings.cpp file. It does compile and run with IDE v1.0.6. Would you like my code?

no thanks Tim, I just reverted to V1.0.6 of the IDE and was able to get things cooking.
OK. Maybe someone will see this post and fix Time.h for us. I don't know what has changed, and I wouldn't want to mess things up for the new devices that IDE v1.5.x supports.
