hii i am facing some issues with my ethernet sheild,
1.)It does not have mac address sticker on bottom so i am using a random mac address in my sketch
2.)when i uplod dhcpaddress to arduino and observe the serial monitor it says "Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP",please tell me how can i troubleshoot this?
i read somewhere that on windows machine i have to press reset button on sheild after uploading sketch to arduino ,is it true? Kindly tell me how to check whether sheild is working or defective

No.

What is supposed to be dynamically serving up the IP address? Why do you need to do that? Your router should be assigning an address to the Arduino, preferably the same one each time.
i tried two routers for this purpose a dlink and a belkin,but both failed in that sketch ,i wanted to create a webserver so i can turn some digital pins on and off by clicking a button on that server but everytime i put ip address in my browser(which i hard coded in server sketch) browser does not show anything
I have the same issue using dhcp and an official shield with a mac address sticker, if I use a random mac address. Don't know why. I had to use the sticker address or else maybe static ip. For your server project, why not using a static address? Easier to remember.
