Hello everybody.

Something very strange happens in my code and I really need your help.

So, my setup is an arduino uno with an ethernet shield and a vb net application. What app does is to give some data to the arduino in a local net . It works but there is an issue. Sometimes i v got rapidly response from the arduino some others with a delay which is max approx 4 sec. I cant find why is that happen.

When i try the same procedure through the web browser or my mobile it works without any delay.

What I have tried:

Here is my codes.

arduino code :

<pre lang="c#"><pre>//zoomkat 12-8-11
//simple button GET with iframe code
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html (or use ')
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84 when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#define HC12 Serial
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 102 }; // ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port

String readString;

  pinMode(5, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
  //start Ethernet
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, gateway, subnet);
  server.begin();

  //enable serial data print 
  Serial.begin(9600); 
    HC12.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("server LED test 1.0"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}

void loop(){
  // Create a client connection

Too much code for anyone to bother with. You need to "narrow things down".
