Hello , IM Using Arduino Mega 2560 and ethernetshield w5100 ,
i used blynk to connect them over internet ( Im new here) my trouble is everytime i try to connect them i get that error in serial monitor ([0] Getting IP… [60731] DHCP Failed!)
The code im using is as following:
/*************************************************************
Download latest Blynk library here:
Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.
Blynk library is licensed under MIT license
This example code is in public domain.
*************************************************************
This example shows how value can be pushed from Arduino to
the Blynk App.
NOTE:
BlynkTimer provides SimpleTimer functionality:

App project setup:
Value Display widget attached to Virtual Pin V5

#define SDCARD_CS 4
BlynkTimer timer;
// This function sends Arduino's up time every second to Virtual Pin (5).
// In the app, Widget's reading frequency should be set to PUSH. This means
// that you define how often to send data to Blynk App.
void myTimerEvent()
{
// You can send any value at any time.
// Please don't send more that 10 values per second.
Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, millis() / 1000);
}
void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(SDCARD_CS, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SDCARD_CS, HIGH); // Deselect the SD card
Blynk.begin(auth);
/* You can also specify server:
Blynk.begin(auth, "blynk-cloud.com", 80);
Blynk.begin(auth, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8080);
// Setup a function to be called every second*/
timer.setInterval(1000L, myTimerEvent);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
timer.run(); // Initiates BlynkTimer
}
Please edit your post to add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

Arduino Ethernet shields can be very temperamental. Sometimes they will only work when plugged directly into the router, other times only when plugged into a switch. Sometimes they won’t work at all!
You could try this sketch, and provide all the connection details including an IP address for the shield, your Gateway and DNS server details etc.
I persisted with Ethernet shields for a while before eventually seeing the light and choosing better hardware…
It compiles fine for me.
The Arduino IDE (version 1.8.10) says:
Sketch uses 18230 bytes (7%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 552 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory, leaving 7640 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8192 bytes.
Try restarting you PC. If that doesn’t work then it’s probably an issue with your IDE installation.
