I'm trying to connect to my site arduino.comule.com (which currently shows a ¿ for testing purposes) through the sketch below, which is an Arduino program. The problem is I cannot figure out how to resolve arduino.comule.com to the correct IP to use. If I do a ping, I get 31.170.162.43 - but typing that IP into a browser doesn't take me to my site. Any advice?


#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress server(173,194,33,104); // Google

// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetClient client;

void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}

// start the Ethernet connection:
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
// no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
for(;
;
}
// give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");

// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect(server, 80)) {
Serial.println("connected");
// Make a HTTP request:
client.println("GET /search?q=arduino HTTP/1.0");
client.println();
}
else {
// kf you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}

void loop()
{
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
}

// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();

// do nothing forevermore:
for(;
;
}
}

Hello,

The IP address corresponds to the server. The server is shared by other users.

000webhost free service does not provide a dedicated IP you can use.

In addition to the IP you must use the name of your website.

OK - thanks, that makes sense - but I've been playing around with various iterations. According to my control panel, my website IP is 31.170.160.112 and file system path is /home/a7385954. Shouldn't I be able to type in http://31.170.160.112/home/a7385954 to arrive at my site?
