W5100 Eth Shield on Mega 2560

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run the WebServer example on a mega 2560 (clone) and W5100 ethernet shield (clone).

I get "server is at 192.168.1.177" on serial monitor so I suppose SPI is working properly, isn't it?
I also am able to ping the 192.168.1.177 from PC, so I suppose W5100 ETH interface is working too. Both Tx and Rx led on the shield blink.

If I try to open the page from a browser nothing happens, no message on serial monitor, only Rx led blinks, Tx led remains off. After a long timeout Chrome answer with ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE error.

Below is the code.

Any ideas?

Many many many thanks,
Gabriele

/*
Web Server

A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

Circuit:

  • Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
  • Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)

Solved...

I had a proxy set in my network settings.

Removed that, and it works like a charm.
