I'm having trouble getting my WIShield to make requests outside of my subnet. I'm using the Simple Client app as is, configured IP - 192.168.0.#, Gateway - 192.168.0.1, Subnet 255.255.255.0. Other than the IP this is the same as my PC. I'm monitoring packets with WireShark (highly recommended). Here's what I get
- with machines inside the subnet I can ping, and send/receive HTTP just fine. I can act as a server (e.g. simple server sketch works fine). I see the ping packets, and the HTTP requests/response packets in Wire Shark.

- when I try to go to the weather site, no packets are put on the wire. It's as though the WIServer code wouldn't send them. The app times out with the "connection ended" (or similar) line others have seen.

Have you given the WeClient/WebServer samples a try? I have found hitting the weather site to be a bit problematic; maybe try hitting another site with the Simple Client.

Got it to work - seemed to be a router issue. On my NetGear WPN824v3 the authentication type seems to need to be set to Automatic? Also the weather page does seem to be problematic -other pages work fine.

Thanks!
