<p class='vspace'></p><h2>Ethernet library</h2>
<p>With the Arduino Ethernet Shield, this library allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet.  It can serve as either a server accepting incoming connections or a client making outgoing ones.  The library supports up to four concurrent connection (incoming or outgoing or a combination).
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Ethernet class</h4>
<p>The Ethernet class initializes the ethernet library and network settings.

</li></ul><p class='vspace'></p><h4>Server class</h4>
<p>The Server class creates servers which can send data to and receive data from connected clients (programs running on other computers or devices).
