Nano with Ethernet shield not connecting to Blynk cloud

I’m trying to connect a Nano with Ethernet shield to the Blynk cloud using the standard script from the Blynk examples for Nano and ENC28J60 Ethernet shield

This is the code

#include <UIPEthernet.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleUIPEthernet.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "xxxxx";

WidgetLED led1(V1);

BlynkTimer timer;

// V1 LED Widget is blinking
void blinkLedWidget()
{
  if (led1.getValue()) {
    led1.off();
    Serial.println("LED on V1: off");
  } else {
    led1.on();
    Serial.println("LED on V1: on");
  }
}

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth);
  // You can also specify server:
  //Blynk.begin(auth, "blynk-cloud.com", 80);
  //Blynk.begin(auth, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8080);

  timer.setInterval(1000L, blinkLedWidget);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}

The problem is that it keeps restarting after trying to connect to the Blynk cloud (timeout ??). See Serial Monitor text below. I’ve connected a Uno with 5200 Ethernet shield without difficulty, so am unsure if this is a Nano issue or what. Given that the router is assigning an IP address, it would appear that the Ethernet shield is doing its job correctly. Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.

did you try to ping blynk server ?

No I didn’t because a) I didn’t think of it, and b) I’ve got three other ESP32 devices and an Uno running on the same router.

Could be a MAC address clash?

Pete.

I moved the Nano to a completely different network to see if it would make any difference. I still cannot connect to the Blynk Cloud - see Serial printout
