Uhmm. Well I finally got chance to play with some of my new add-ons last night. I had to go over to the Dark Side and downloaded the example files from Mikroelectronica's web site, but no matter what chip I used (including the recommended 18F4520) couldn't ping the "server" let alone view the basic website in the HTTP example. The 10Mb connection LED lit and there was the occasional flicker on the activity LED, and I even modified the code to flash an LED on the EasyPIC5 board prior to waiting in the packet loop so I knew the chip was running OK.

Looking on their support forum, it seems quite a common problem, especially as the examples are for the standard (now unsupported) microbasic and not the pro version, and a lot of the threads seem to stop dead with no resolve... (unlike this lovely place where people help until the problem is fixed )

It would be nice if PBP could support ethernet in the same way Mikrobasic does (dedicated library files and websites in strings).... maybe this could be Darrel's next gift to the PBP community
