Alright so I run a little home server that I can set-up a website in and My radio station so on... Could I set it up as a 'middle man' [middle computer in this case ] so one Netduino can talk to the other using ethernet shields? I would love to set up a thing where you get a account # and password and it allows you to send info back and forth! FREE of course. OMG 'Netduino IM' LOL how funny would that be!?!?!

I think what you are talking about is called Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M) http://en.wikipedia....hine-to-Machine

Incidently recently I came across an OS platform that can handle this called Mango M2M http://mango.serotoninsoftware.com/

Slightly different angle would be the notion of Sensor Web. One example would be the OGC Sensor Web Eneblement initiative http://www.opengeosp...echnologies/swe and example implementation is here http://52north.org/S...oxf/index.html. Another popular example is http://www.pachube.com/

I'm interested in these topics myself so please let us know if you make any progress with this.

Hnh.... I'll need to get an Ethernet shield to experiment with different types of data formats...
I just got a shield a little so I can't spend more money till a while from now.

Does anyone who has an Ethernet shield interested in receiving data? or at least can you tell me a little about how it communicates with the internet?

I'll make this dream a reality, plus I need a good Project for my Computer class

You'll need to write drivers for the ethernet shield. They aren't available yet. One thing I've been thinking about trying is a mesh XBee network between netduinos and a host computer. The XBee already has the concept internal to itself and can be treated as a regular modem with CTS/RTS (UART2 to the rescue). I just haven't gotten around to assembling the XBee breakout board I have yet - all the other XBee stuff I have is dedicated service (USB holder, RFID, etc) so I need to do that so I have an XBee I can attach to my netduino and see what happens.

well once anyone has a working ehthernet shield, tell me and we can work together to make you the first user in my website. I am going to work on the UI. I'll also make it so you can read values that are going through so you don't need two Netduinos or Arduinos, just one sending data.
