Simply I tried to output an IP address assigned from the Internet router via serial monitor, using the DHCP(Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol) to check that the Ethernet shield is running.
1. What is needed and the circuit configuration
You will need Arduino Unoboard or Megaboard Since Ethernet shield board has adapted to use by inserting directly on top of the Arduino Unoboard or Megaboard. In order to receive an assignment of the IP address, the Internet router (which can be a router or DHCP server) is required.
Supplies
=====
Arduino Uno board
Internet router
Internet connections
Circuit configuration
=======
Unnecessary Circuit configuration, but you should wire the Ethernet shield to Arduino Uno board and connect to the Internet.

3. Execution result
Upload the sketch, open the serial monitor, and are waiting for a while, the assigned IP address will be displayed. It stop to output only once. So press the reset button on the Ethernet shield board in order to receive it again and outputs it to the screen.
4. Finish
The pins used on the ethernet shield were too long, so I got bent on the courier. Because of bent pins, it was a little hard to plug into the Arduino board.
I felt that the purpose of sending the post header pins separately was to prevent the pins from bending during transportation.
In addition, the Ethernet library that was downloaded from WizNet was used as a user library, but it conflicts with the W5100 library and does not work. Therefore, the library registered in the user library is deleted. As described in https://github.com/Wiznet/WIZ_Ethernet_Library, i copied it in the Arduino IDE libraries folder and uncommented the #define W5100_ETHERNET_SHIELD in the w5100.h file. I also felt that the installation instructions should be read carefully.
I thought that it would be more convenient for users to use #define in sketch rather than modify the header file of the library.
