ezTime — pronounced "Easy Time" — is a very easy to use Arduino time and date library that provides NTP network time lookups, extensive timezone support, formatted time and date strings, user events, millisecond precision and more.
First of all, thanks for this great library, the synchronization to milliseconds is what I have been looking for!
Unfortunately I'm still failing with the basic functions. I loaded the example sketch for milliseconds and included the Ethernet Ehield. I am connected to the internet, another sketch for NTP synchronization works fine.
It seems that the sketch for the time synchronization hangs, means I see "got DHCP IP 192.xxx" and after that nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I also tried the example sketch for the Ethernet Shield, it hangs in exactly the same place.
Any help is appreciated.

my code:
`
include
include
// Enter a MAC address for your controller below. (Or use address below, just make sure it's unique on your network)
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) { ; } // wait for Serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
while (!Serial) { ; } // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
Serial.println();
// You can use Ethernet.init(pin) to configure the CS pin
//Ethernet.init(10); // Most Arduino shields (default if unspecified)
//Ethernet.init(5); // MKR ETH shield
//Ethernet.init(0); // Teensy 2.0
//Ethernet.init(20); // Teensy++ 2.0
//Ethernet.init(15); // ESP8266 with Adafruit Featherwing Ethernet
//Ethernet.init(33); // ESP32 with Adafruit Featherwing Ethernet
Serial.print(F("Ethernet connection ... "));
byte mac [] = MAC_ADDRESS;
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println(F("failed. (Reset to retry.)"));
while (true) { ; }; // Hang
} else {
Serial.print(F("got DHCP IP: "));
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
// give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
delay(1000);
setInterval(60);
waitForSync();
Serial.println();
for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
Serial.println(UTC.dateTime("l, d-M-y H:i:s.v T"));
}
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Those milliseconds between the first and the last line ...");
Serial.println();
Serial.println(" ... most of that is spent sending to the serial port.");
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.println("And ezTime is not making those milliseconds up either.");
Serial.println();
Serial.println(" ... Stick around as we do an NTP request every minute.");
setDebug(INFO);
