Arduino Ethernet Shield

[shahrul]

I see, that is easier to do Ethernet project and SD Card project using arduino. It have already the function for Ethernet and SD Card, not like Hi-Tech PIC. It save more time to learn.

Can the Ethernet Shield working without Arduino UNO to ON/OFF the LED?

Unfortunately, NO. The shield by its own is just a TCPIP PHY module.

do we need to setup pc as server? or arduino only

If you are using the Ethernet shield, you can use the Arduino server example code. Don't need a PC.

good then..how about if the web require big memory due to got image in web server? usinf SD card can solve the problem?

[sich]

Never try that but it should be fine. However, I don't think that's a good idea to create a complex webserver with Arduino alone. It's better to write simple html code to control the website or receive commands from the website on Arduino, then host the actual website with pictures and everything else on a server.
