thanx for your answers,still stragling to make it work ,this is the scetch i am trying
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 120 }; // ip in lan (that's what you need to use in your browser. ("192.168.1.178")
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(4040); //server port
EthernetClient client;
String readString;
void setup() {
{
Serial.begin(9600);
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
}
// LEDs
pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
// start the Ethernet connection and the server:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
server.begin();
Serial.print("server is at ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
// Create a client connection
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
//read char by char HTTP request
if (readString.length() < 100) {
//store characters to string
readString += c;
//Serial.print(c);
}
//if HTTP request has ended
if (c == '\n') {
Serial.println(readString); //print to serial monitor for debuging
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); //send new page
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");

}
//clearing string for next read
readString="";

}
}
}
}
void sendGET(){
if (client.connect("myoffice-ip",80)) {
Serial.println("connected");
client.println("GET /?lightsoff HTTP/1.1"); //download text
client.println("Host: myoffice-ip");
client.println("Connection: close"); //close 1.1 persistent connection
client.println(); //end of get request
}
else {
Serial.println("connection failed"); //error message if no client connect
Serial.println();
}
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
Serial.println("==================");
Serial.println();
client.stop(); //stop client
}
the void sendGET is called allright when i press the "button2on" ,i see at serial monitor that gets connected with server,waits and then disconnect,but nothing happens,no data gets posted.Where am i wrong?
