I have been trying to setup a web server using Arduino. I have an UNO and a HanRun HR91105A I got off the internet, and I am using a modified version of the WebServer example to test my code. It did in fact work at first. But after setting up port forwarding, the connection suddenly became unstable. It connects and works for a few minutes, then suddenly I can't even ping it. Trying to ping the Arduino results in request time out. Research online suggests 2 possibilities:
1.) All the RAM is used up
2.) Ethernet shield is faulty
Below is my code
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
0x44, 0x00, 0x10, 0x20, 0x8C, 0x0A
};
IPAddress ip(192,168,1,90);
// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(8081);
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// start the Ethernet connection and the server:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
server.begin();
Serial.print("server is at ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
// listen for incoming clients
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
Serial.println("new client");
// an http request ends with a blank line
boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.write(c);
// if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
// so you can send a reply
if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println("Refresh: 2");
client.println();
client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
//-----------------Type in outputs below-------------------------------------
client.println("<html>");
client.print("Hello World!");
client.print("<p id='Header'>");
client.print("Sensor Data");
client.println("</p>");
client.print("<p id='Pressure'>");
client.print("Pressure:");
client.println("</p>");
client.print("<p id='Acceleration'>");
client.print("Acceleration:");
client.println("</p>");
client.println("<br /)");
client.println("</html>");
break;
//-----------------End of outputs--------------------------------------------
}
if (c == '\n') {
// you're starting a new line
currentLineIsBlank = true;
} else if (c != '\r') {
// you've gotten a character on the current line
currentLineIsBlank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(1);
// close the connection:
client.stop();
Serial.println("client disconnected");
}
}
Additionally, the arduino does have a static IP, so I'm pretty sure it is not an issue of DHCP lease expiry.
I highly suspect that the shield is faulty as it gets very hot while in operation. Plus it IS a knockoff. But I can't dismiss the possibility that my coding is just inefficient as I am not very experienced. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Your Arduino will opperate unpredictably when RAM is not enough.
In this code, there are many constant string. you should store those strings in FLASH memory to save RAM. In order to to so, use F() macro. For example.
client.println(F("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"));
If your program is big, I recommend to use the shield that equips an embedded web sever (e.g PHPoC Shield)

I'm trying to run the WebServer example below from the Arduino IDE using an Ethernet shield (Wiznet W5100) that is stacked on top of an Arduino Uno R3. The Ethernet shield is connected using an RJ45 cable to an Internet router. After uploading the code to the board, I see that the requested IP address (192.168.1.177) is printed to the console. The strange behavior that I'm facing here is that when I ping the IP address, I get a response indicating that the IP is reachable from my laptop. Also, I see the Tx, Rx LED lights blinking thereby indicating that the board is receiving the ping msgs and replying to them. This means that the board successfully received an IP address and is now connected to the LAN. However, when I try to access the same IP from the browser to receive the HTML page, no response is returned and the browser takes around 30 seconds displaying loading before returning site not reachable message. I tried different browsers from both the laptop and an iPhone connected to the same LAN with no luck in receiving the web page. Any hint as to what the problem could be is highly appreciated.
See below the code and a picture for the Ethernet shield during the experiment.

To those who come later here for the same problem, it appeared that there was an issue with the DHCP of the Internet router. It seems like my router's DHCP was not stable when providing IP addresses for devices connected through the Ethernet ports. I replaced the router and the problem went away.
Hi I am absolute newbee using ENC28J60, I want to upload some data to my seerver (in php) :
I take a php hosting from 0fees and now I can send the data to my server using : http://ashutest123.0fees.us/dataupload1.php?data=somedata and check the uploaded list of data in the table as http://ashutest123.0fees.us/showdata.php ——— u can take a view yourself.
I wrote an arduino code (using Aruino Uno and ENC28J60 module from ebay.in) using UIPEthernet lib
#include <UIPEthernet.h> // Used for Ethernet
// **** ETHERNET SETTING ****
// Arduino Uno pins: 10 = CS, 11 = MOSI, 12 = MISO, 13 = SCK
// Ethernet MAC address - must be unique on your network - MAC Reads T4A001 in hex (unique in your network)
byte mac[] = { 0x54, 0x34, 0x41, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31 };
// For the rest we use DHCP (IP address and such)
EthernetClient client;
char server[] = "ashutest123.0fees.us"; // IP Adres (or name) of server to dump data to
int interval = 5000; // Wait between dumps
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Ethernet.begin(mac);
Serial.println("Tweaking4All.com - Temperature Drone - v2.0");
Serial.println("-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\n");
Serial.print("IP Address : ");

Serial.print("Default Gateway IP: ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.gatewayIP());
Serial.print("DNS Server IP : ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.dnsServerIP());
}
void loop() {
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:

else {
// you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("--> connection failed/n");
}
delay(interval);
}
when I run it in serial monitor it shows all ip, dns, gateway etc addresses as 0.0.0.0 ---- seems no dhcp abtained
then shows "connected"
no data goes to my server
Please help me I am in a need of it
Thanks in advance
You might want to try this example code, it might help you alot to understand your problem and where it come from.
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
byte mac[] = {
0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02
};
// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetClient client;
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
// this check is only needed on the Leonardo:
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// start the Ethernet connection:
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
// no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
for (;;)
;
}
// print your local IP address:
printIPAddress();
}
void loop() {
switch (Ethernet.maintain())
{
case 1:
//renewed fail
Serial.println("Error: renewed fail");
break;
case 2:
//renewed success
Serial.println("Renewed success");
//print your local IP address:
printIPAddress();
break;
case 3:
//rebind fail
Serial.println("Error: rebind fail");
break;
case 4:
//rebind success
Serial.println("Rebind success");
//print your local IP address:
printIPAddress();
break;
default:
//nothing happened
break;
}
}
void printIPAddress()
{
Serial.print("My IP address: ");
for (byte thisByte = 0; thisByte < 4; thisByte++) {
// print the value of each byte of the IP address:
Serial.print(Ethernet.localIP()[thisByte], DEC);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println();
}
Then I let you edit your code with your custom functions to get all informations you might need.
Note that if you set an hard-coded IP address even in a DHCP range it will be working.

I have been playing with the Arduino Ethernet shield. I can't get it to reliably accept connections when running a webserver type application. When I can't connect to it, I can't ping it. The message I get is "Reply from 192.168.1.14: Destination host unreachable.". Where 192.168.1.14 is the ip of the computer I am trying to connect from. Why would an ip on my local subnet be unreachable? Is the shield not correctly identifying itself on the network? Is there anything I can do in Arduino code?
Here is my code. If you see anything wrong, please let me know.
Update: I plugged it into my main home router instead of a switch and it worked immediately there. At any rate, once I can connect to it, it keep working as long as its powered on.

The code specifies IPAddress ip(192,168,1,177); but in the question post you refer to the address 192.168.1.14. sS this a typo or are you just pinging the wrong address?
I have recently bought an arduino wifi shield(Atmal chip 32UC3A1512-U), which I connected with
my Arduino Mega ADK R3 board)...It is getting connected to my wifi network, But when I run the

To see this page in action, open a browser to http://192.168.2.5
But When I am opening the browser with the specified IP address, It is showing

I have tried this in mozilla and chrome from my ubuntu machine...also tried from some other machines in the same network but with the same result. But when I am pinging to 192.168.2.5 it is pinging...What went wrong??? . My friend adviced to change the firmware...Is it an issue,bcas as told earlier simple examples for establishing the connection are working...Please guide me
I've got the same problem after upgrading Arduino IDE to lastest version (v2) from v1.0.8 which is doing fine with the wifi shield tests (client and server).
Going to try the nightly build now and see if it's fixed.
Edit: Yeap, Nightly build solves this issue.
I'm testing the Ethernet shield with an Arduino Uno, and I'm getting a DHCP error just using the example sketch.
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
byte MACaddress[] = { 0x90, 0xAD, 0xDA, 0x0D, 0x96, 0xFE };
EthernetClient client;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
;
}
// Start the Ethernet connection:
if (Ethernet.begin(MACaddress) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
for(;;)
;
}
Serial.print("My IP address: ");
for (byte thisByte = 0; thisByte < 4; thisByte++) {
Serial.print(Ethernet.localIP()[thisByte], DEC);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println();
}
void loop() {
}
I've opened the router administration page, and I can see it gave the Arduino an IP address, associated with the MAC address. I've also tried a static IP address in the code (Ethernet.begin(MACaddress, IPaddress)), but it won't work either.
I can't ping the shield IP address that shows in the router administrator page.
What is wrong with just this simple code?
Everything is out of the box, the Arduino and the shield. I haven't done anything with them, just connected the shield to the Arduino and sent the code. It seems everything is working fine, the LEDs are blinking for both boards.
These loops are useless.. Could you try something like:

I'm not sure what you mean by "I've also tried a static IP address in the code". If you simply replaced
if (Ethernet.begin(MACaddress) == 0) {
with
if (Ethernet.begin(MACaddress, myIP) == 0) {
the result may be unpredictable, because there is no return value.

EthernetBegin
Returns
The DHCP version of this function, Ethernet.begin(mac), returns an int: 1 on a successful DHCP connection, 0 on failure. The other versions don't return anything.
have you tried one of the examples with fixed IP's?
