I HAVE BOUGHT AN ETHERNET SHIELD . BEFORE STARTING WITH ANY PROJECT WITH IT , I WANTED TO CHECK IF IT IS PRINTING MY IP ADDRESS USING DHCP...I HAD UPLOADED THE PROGRAM BUT IT SOMEHOW DIDN'T WORK...SHOWED ME THE ERROR MESSAGE "FAILED TO SHOW THE IP ADDRESS USING DHCP" ...THIS PROGRAM WAS ONE OF THE EXAMPLES THAT ARDUINO PROVIDED...PLEASE HELP...
Do you have the shield connected to a router with a dhcp server active?
