using uno as ftdi programmer for ethernet board [solved]

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hey there,

Yesterday I accidently bought an Arduino Ethernet board instead of the ethernet shield.
At home I found out that this one has no USB interface.You need a ftdi programmer to flash it.
I also read that it is possible to use an Arduino Uno as such.

I did as described in the link above
but instead of removing the chip I connected jumpercable from ground to reset.
Got that from here:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,18243.0.html
the first try it worked but after that i got this error when flashing the device:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

for any suggestions how to fix this problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks!

You have to do a manual reset on the Arduino Ethernet. Try holding the reset button down until the "Binary sketch size:" message appears in the IDE.
