Ethernet shield connection

[Ken]

Cannot send data to Ethernet shield

Microsoft Telnet Client command

Open hostname [port]

Does the Ethernet Shield have a hostname? I get error "not connected" if I just type in text.

Thanks for your help,

Ken

I can see the receive light flash on the Ethernet shield but no TX light. I get the message "Connecting to xxx... Could not open connection to the host. On port (23): Connect failed"

Ken,

Are you using the Arduino Ethernet shield? The red one? Arduino Ethernet library?
Just trying to get the facts straight.

My windows version is Vista, my Ethernet shield is new (and green) and the sketch is Arduino ChatServer and includes
#include <SPI> and #include <Ethernet.h>.

Hope this helps,

So it's the Arduino / Smart projects board? Can you tell me who made the board - because I thought the arduino board was red? I actually don't have a lot of experience with the Arduino Ethernet shield, so you'll probably get a better response on the Arduino forum.

Sorry to not have a better answer.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your response. I'm a little above my head with this Arduino Shield but will continue to work with it.

You can find a discription on the second page of your Arduino products.

thanks again
