Hello

#include

byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 0, 100 };
byte server[] = { 192, 168, 0, 8 }; // Google

Client client(server, 80);

void setup(){
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
Serial.begin(9600);
delay(1000);
}

void loop(){
// connect to server
Serial.println("Try to connect to server:");
if (client.connect()){
Serial.println("OK");
} else {
Serial.println("Fail");
}
if (client.connected()){
client.println("GET /status.php");
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
for(;:wink:

if (client.connected()){
client.println("GET /status.php");
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
for(;; )
;
} else {

two problems in this section of code:

  1. you do a client.read() without checking to see if anything is actually available for read with client.available().

  2. after that read, you go into an infinite loop that stops all other execution forever.

there could be other problems, but these two jumped out at me.
