This changed a few things that have caused two of the sketches in this book to break. The change that has caused trouble is that the classes Server and Client have been renamed to EthernetServer and EthernetClient respectively. To fix this:Edit sketches 10-01 and 10-02 to replace all occurrences of the word Server with EthernetServer and all occurrences of Client with EthernetClient.Alternatively, you can download the modified sketches for 10-01 and 10-02 from here: http://www.arduinobook.com/arduino-1-0Make Great Stuff!TAB, an imprint of McGraw-Hill Professional, is a leading publisher of DIY technology books for makers, hackers, and electronics hobbyists.
