Using DHCP Mode With Arduino and Ethernet Shield

This Arduino sketch uses an Ethernet shield to connect to the internet using DHCP and perform a GET request to checkip.dyndns.com to retrieve the client's IP address. It initializes the Ethernet shield using the MAC address, connects to the server when serial input of 'e' is received, sends the GET request, prints the response to the serial monitor, and closes the connection.
