Thanks for suggesting eliminating the keep-alive. It is what the dnsexit.com form uses but thanks to you I am now doing it better. I had quite a bit of trouble getting their server to recognize my request. After going down many roads this finally worked.
According to dnsexit literature my transmitted ip is ignored, I should have posted the version with it blank, sorry, corrected now.
The posted code is for anyone who has had the same connection issues (this is a very different world for some of us). I hope to have the arduino monitor the environment and be able to serve me back a simple page with some very basic data. All that is yet to be written.
You suggested saving space using a print function. The next piece for me is to install the SD memory chip on the ethernet card. Is it not possible to use this as program space? If you have a good reference for me that would be super ![]()
