HELP ME!!! Arduino Ethernet Shield Problems!

[Bobajake]

Okay so I picked up the seedstudio ethernet shield (v2) and i can not for the life of me get it to connect to my network!

I have spent the last hour or so googling and have found nothing, everyone else's work fine.
I didn't know what to do so i said "hey lets go see if someone could help me on the eev blog!"
any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've tried it on the mega and uno. I am using the library i got from the seedstudio wiki on the shield. and i get the following error, if you want me to upload the example program code i gladly will.

Thanks Jake

SOLVED!!!
I'm Gonna keep this post up, In case i can help people in the future in my situation.

You need to downgrade the arduino IDE software to 1.0.1 in order for it to work. No idea why you just do...
