Kalina,
What CAD program are you using for this project? The board file does not seem to be Eagle or KiCad.

Re: MDMSNode "Power"
Kalina, I just tried to open the board layout in Eagle and I get an error, " StartTag Expected". Was the design done with Eagle or another CAD app?

Cheers,
JWB

I did some further troubleshooting and I believe I figured out why the Ethernet is failing. I was using the following in the sketch and I think I misunderstood what it was used for:
"// Controller ip address. Enables client mode (default is "server" mode).
// Also enable this if MY_USE_UDP is used and you want sensor data sent somewhere.
#define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192,168,1,68"
I thought this was used to tell the GW where the Controller was located. However, with this enabled, the Controller cannot talk to the GW. I also see a minor error pop up when this feature is enabled.
"C:\Users\JB's_Quad_PC\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\MySensors\hardware\samd\1.0.5\libraries\Ethernet\src\utility\socket.cpp:365:6: warning: unused parameter 's' [-Wunused-parameter]

void flush(SOCKET s)
" .
I really don't know what this error is or if it is an indication of some other compiler error that is not clearly shown.
After disabling "MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS" I was able to finally make an Ethernet connection between Homeassistant and the GW. YES!
I used nmap and it also showed port 5003 was open now. YES!
Time to move on....

I am a newbe on this forum so hopefully I won't stumble too many times!

I have a MYSensors GW with a W5100 Ethernet module that I am trying to bring up.

I started with operating the GW as a serial GW talking to either MyController.org or Homeassistant Controllers.

This setup works fine with no issues between the controller and GW or any RF nodes.

I then migrated the GW to Ethernet using the MYSensors Webserver sketch to checkout the W5100.

Everything worked fine. No issues. I used nmap to query the W5100 @ 192.168.1.99 and I see that port 80 /tcp is open and the service is http. This is good.

I then loaded the MYSensors GW sketch and tried running the Homeassistant Controller app.

The Controller keeps trying to connect to the GW, but, fails. This scenario keeps repeating.

I then tried the MYController.org app and I see a similar connection failure.

So at this time both controller apps are unable to talk to the GW via Ethernet.

I can ping the GW so I know it is there.

I used nmap and it shows port 5003 is closed, service =filemaker.

I was expecting port 5003 to be open, not closed!

I suspect this is why the Controller apps are unable to communicate with the GW.

I checked the sketch and I see where port 5003 is defined, but, I do not understand why the port is closed.

I believe at this point the h/w is OK and the issue is with the s/w.

I am not a s/w expert so I am in need of some help tracking down why the Ethernet is not working.

I have uploaded the sketch I am using as well as the IDE compiler log.

My IDE is version 1.8.2.
