Problem with connecting to ethernet

Hi,

This should be very simple but as I am new to arduino programming, I am having a bit of a problem connecting to ethernet.

I have W5500 ethernet shield for Arduino Uno R3 controller. My project involes tranmitting the temperature data over the internet. The first step I took as to connect to ethernet was to get the correct IP address using the inbuilt example in arduino IDE. Then I used the same IP address in the code mentioned below. However, when I print the IP address using Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());, the output is 0.0.0.0

It would great if you can give any insight or solution to this!

TIA!

#include <SPI.h>
#include "EthernetV2_0.h"

byte mac[] = { 
  0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02 };
IPAddress ip(10, 2, 28, 10); 

EthernetServer server(80);
#define W5200_CS  10
#define SDCARD_CS 4

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  pinMode(SDCARD_CS,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(SDCARD_CS,HIGH);//Deselect the SD card
  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  
  server.begin();
  Serial.print("server is at ");
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
  
void loop() {
  // listen for incoming clients
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  delay(10);
  Serial.print(client);
  if (client) {
    Serial.println("new client");
    // an http request ends with a blank line
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();
        Serial.write(c);
        // if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
        // character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
        // so you can send a reply
        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response header
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println("Connnection: close");
          client.println();
          client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
          client.println("<html>");
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
