Cannot ping from Wifly or connect to it from outside

Wireless & IoT

I’ve set up the Wifly module on an Arduino Mega 2560. It connects to my wifi network and gets an ip address. I’ve uploaded the example server that listens on port 80 and used ‘set ip local 80’ and ‘save’ in CMD mode. But the browser just times out and I can’t telnet to it. If I try to ping the router from the wifly it says:

<2.31> ping 192.168.1.1

ERR: Net IF is down

is there something I’m missing?

thanks

seems that despite doing this:

set wlan ssid

set wlan join 1

save

so that it joins on startup, when the shield code runs, it needs to explicitly join again or it won’t serve (IF DOWN):

WiFly.join(ssid);

the signal where the Arduino is running is a bit droppy so maybe it’s dropping the connection but telnet/http work ok with the above command :slight_smile:
