What’s the solution if you need an Ethernet shield and need screw terminals for an Uno?
Thanks
One of these?
You put that one on the Uno and then your e'net shield on top.

No, you can't as the Ethernet Shield connects by the ICSP header and this shield doesn't interconnect these pins.
Check that it has long pins. If it does, it should go OK on top of Ethernet shield. Failing that, it is simple enough to make your own using a blank proto board. And you get to use long-pin headers.
I also note that a six-pin cluster can be added to the shield alluded to above.
Not following you at all. I’m not seeing any screw terminals in your photo.
Really? There are two, and I would have thought both are pretty clear. One is 3x orange, the other 3x blue, which is all I need. Advantages of making your own include choosing the number of terminals, their location, and their colour. Rather more to the point is the length of the header pins, and that it is sitting over an Ethernet shield.

Now I see what you are talking about. But that's only 6 screw terminals. What about the others?
I was hoping to find something more like this?
But the think costs more than the Arduino.
What others? Read reply#5 again - twice. What I said was, I have no need for the others. I also said that if you make your own, you get to choose the number of terminals - within reason. I imagine a standard Uno proto shield could be pursuaded to carry 100 terminals, which I presume you would find sufficient, but it is likely to mean you would have to forego the LCD display.
I also said the pin length is more to the point. That Vetco thing doesn't look too good to me, but it would be better if another shield was on top and, while it appears to have short pins, at least it gets round the problem of fouling the RJ socket on an Ethernet shield - I think.
I see what you are talking about. Thank you.

Ah, yes, sorry.

Only partly true, I think. The position for the ICSP pins is marked on the board, implying that the holes are in register. This means you only have to install a 2x3 header therein upside-down, and the problem is solved.
Note that not all proto boards have their holes in register with Arduino's ICSP cluster.
