Hello all,
I've just received my WIFI shield today and I'm trying to make it work.
I have loaded the ConnectwithWPA program with no problems as the LINK led is green.
There is something that worries me because I have the following on the Serial Monitor:
IP Address: 192.168.0.8
192.168.0.8
MAC address: EE:EE:EE:EE:EE:EE
The MAC address is not the same as in the label at the back of the shield. Should it be the same?
Then I write 192.168.0.8 on the google chrome windows and it just says "The web page is not available"
Any help is welcome, for sure is not a major problem...
Thanks,
Toffee_apple
That does not look like a MAC address that would be assigned to a WiFi shield, but who knows.
Unless you upload server code, that is the message the web browser should display.
Hello SurferTim,
Thanks for your reply. Can you please recommend next steps to follow or a quick example that fixes the problem of not loading the ip address in google?
As you can see I've never worked with wifi before...
Kind Regards,

Have you upgraded the wifi shield firmware? If you are using IDE v1.0.4 or newer, you must do the firmware upgrade. Does it display the message "Please upgrade the firmware" when you ran the ConnectWithWPA sketch?
There is a SimpleWebServerWiFi example also.
I found much more complete wifi shield firmware instructions and put a link in my second post on this forum entry.

I ran the example program (under file : Example ) on the Arduino IDE for WifiWebClient to confirm I had good operation.
