ahh that would explain why the light was bright when we just ran to the uno board but when we ran to the shield it was just very dim...
So the "control" code looks correct? again this one that I posted was the last version we tried... we have never been able to control any of the pins using ethernet... the web service works fine as it's displaying "on" or "off"... but no response on the pins... I don't think we tried all of the pins individually but we did try to use pin 3... same outcome.
