Can a Arduino shield connect to the Internet?
This shield opens up endless amounts of possibility by allowing you to connect your project to the internet in no-time flat. Setting it up is as simple as plugging the header pins from the shield into your Arduino. Note that the Ethernet Shield used here used to be sold at RadioShack.
How do I connect my Arduino to my router?
Plug the Arduino into your computer’s USB port, and the Ethernet shield into your router (or direct internet connection). Next, open the Arduino development environment. I highly recommend upgrading to Arduino 1.0 or later (if you have not done so already).
How can I control my Arduino from a web page?
The first thing you need to do, before we even think about controlling an Arduino from a web page is to connect the Ethernet shield to the Arduino. It simple aligns with the pins and presses down. Don’t press it down too far however, or the bottom of the Ethernet shield may make contact with the top of the USB port.
How does an Arduino display a web page?
This program will display a web page on a Web browser when the IP address assigned to the Arduino is accessed. The line: Instructs the browser to refresh the page.

How can I connect my Arduino to my laptop?
Assign a manual IP address to the Arduino’s Ethernet say 192.168.0.2 and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 default Gateway empty. Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to link the two (laptop and Arduino).
How do you connect Arduino to Ethernet shield?
Place the Arduino body on the bottom, and connect the Ethernet shield’s feet to the appropriate slots. The Arduino with the Ethernet shield connected. Some of the legs stick out, but that’s okay. We’re now done connecting the Arduino unit to the Ethernet shield.
