      Have you tried to power from the DC-in socket instead of the usb. I think I've read that just the usb isn't enough for the ethernet shield. And avoid use both at the same time unless you're really sure about that it wont destroy anything.
      Edit: You should be safe with keeping the usb connected and using a good quality supply. And of course you'll need the usb to debug.

        server.write(writeBuffer); in EthernetGateway.ino stops arduino!!!

        If I comment server.write(writeBuffer); in function writeEthernet(char *writeBuffer) arduino uno receive and transmit data via radio.

          My configuration!!!!

          collegamenti.jpg

          in RF24_config.h
          enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").

          change
          const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
          const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
          const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;

          • DESCRIPTION
          • The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link.
          • The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
          • The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz. ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
          • COMPILING WIZNET (W5100) ETHERNET MODULE
          • Edit RF24_config.h in (libraries\MySensors\utility) to enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").

          • COMPILING ENC28J60 ETHERNET MODULE
          • Use Arduino IDE 1.0.6 or 1.5.7 (or later)

          • Not compatible with Arduino IDE < 1.0.6 / 1.5.7 ! (use of EthernetClient operator ==)

          • Disable DEBUG in Sensor.h before compiling this sketch. Othervise the sketch will probably not fit in program space when downloading.

          • Remove Ethernet.h include below and include UIPEthernet.h

          • Remove DigitalIO include

          • Note that I had to disable UDP and DHCP support in uipethernet-conf.h to reduce space. (which means you have to choose a static IP for that module)
          • VERA CONFIGURATION:
          • Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
          • E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
          • LED purposes:
            • RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
            • TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
            • ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
          • See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.
          • in RF24_config.h
          • decommentare #define SOFTSPI riga 28 enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").
          • const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
          • const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
          • const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;
          • radio Pin
          • ARDUINO RADIO
          • pin 5 --> CE
          • pin 6 --> CSN
          • pin A0 --> MOSI
          • pin A1 --> MISO
          • pin A2 --> SCK

            Please indent any code 4 spaces before pasting to make it easier to read.
            Did you try an external power source?

              Im not sure it is a typo or you tried to ping different IP's

              In the third post you write "but no ping to 192.168.0.66" instead of 192.168.0.166 which is written in the sketch, maybe this is the problem.

                  What is your progress? Now it works?
                  It is better to use a power supply instead of USB power with the Ethernetshield.

                    I put arduino and ethernet and shield directly connected with PC USB.
                    Are two weeks and works without problems.

                    even if the PC is powered off the USB supply current!!!!

                        Hello, I only managed to make it work ties in:
                        #define SOFTSPI
                        #ifdef SOFTSPI
                        const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 12; //A0
                             const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 11; // A1
                             const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 13; // A0
                        #endif

                        I do not know how to explain.
