Ethernet shield not working

Hi,
I just bought a new Arduino Uno and a Ethernet shield 2.
The Arduino is working perfectly and the SD-card is also working.
I tried to test the ethernet connection, without success.
My PC has the IPaddress : 192.168.0.61
So I uploaded the example Webserver and modified the MAC-address and the IP-address to 192.168.0.177.
When I run the program, I can see that the 'Ethernet.localIP()' is 0.27.27.27

Please can someone help me with this ??

Is it a software problem or a hardware problem ?

thanks a lot

You are probably using the wrong library. The ethernet library included with the IDE is compatible with the w5100 type shield only. I use this library:

Hi SurferTim,
Thanks for your reply.
I will check it later today.

YES ! it works..... but I used the official Arduino Ethernet2 Library.
Thanks a lot for the Idea SurferTim !
