The next day it lit dimly, becoming brighter if the reset was pressed. I cleaned off excess flux with an old toothbrush and resoldered any joints that didn't look pretty and shiny. The LED then flashed OK but only for a short while before dying. More examination for dry joints, also checking for bridging between component joints and the 'through pins' of the board as sometimes they are very close together. Anyway it then worked for hours. The next day it didn't. Today I came to investigate why and it powered up straight away. Maybe a problem for the future :-(</ins></div></td></tr>

Struggled for a while with EtherShield Webserver to get router to 'see' nanode, and get its webpage, having changed only what the instructions say to change - IP & initialisation line. Finally used the sample code at https://gist.github.com/1020951 to determine the mac address of the board. When this was put into EtherShield Webserver everything worked.</ins></div></td></tr>
