Ethernet shield not connecting to the Webserver - new to Arduino

SurferTim:
I used this server:

byte server[] = {31, 170, 161, 36}; // My webserver IP

with this request

client.println("GET /test.php HTTP/1.0");

client.println("Host: venard.hostzi.com\r\n");



...and it returned, among other things, "A sample string as test message". Is that what it is supposed to say? My web browser says that is correct.

Thanks for sharing this trick, you've saved me a headache :wink:
