Ethernet shield can't connect to web

  • well the stick has a dynamic IP from the range: 10.33.x.x with subnet mask: 255.255.255.248. it says that dhcp is not activated, but each time it get a new ip from the range.

  • the 192.168.1.x , I made in order to build a local network of all the devices. the stick gets no local ip alone. I had assigned it to it. (I tried also without assigning).

  • if DHCP on laptop is activated, the Ethernet device of the laptop gets: IPv4 Address: 169.254.162.x, IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 but with DHCP it loses its network access. it was actually a coincidence that I tried with 192.168.1.x which gave internet access to the local network.

  • with DHCP the Ethernet shield doesn't work. I need to specify an IP.

other thing, my local network is unidentified network (public network). which means I can't view the devices of the network. So not after all sure that Arduino Ethernet is really working.. But that the Web server example has worked, was my proof..
