Hi
I’m digging up this gremlin from some time ago. Essentially, once the board falls into a connection error with being disconnected from the HS3 server, the Genuine Mega with Ethernet shield v2 won’t auto reconnect when back on line. Pressing the reset or connect buttons has no effect. Despite having a brute force working around to power cycle the board to reconnect, it isn’t always reliable. Original thread here:

It’s annoying as I reboot the server weekly. Because it takes longer than 50 seconds, I get the error and then Arduino reconnect fails. I suspect for the same reason the reset button never works and seems to freeze the system. If a temporary drop out occurs within 50 seconds, there is no problem and it never drops a connection during normal operation.
I’ve done a lot more troubleshooting and I’m wondering if my LCD display has an issue with handling the longer text as only “Connection Err” with the 16x2 display? Even with the connection error, I can still ping the board.
Any suggestions appreciated.
