Return to Question

This is the full code:

This is the full code, there are several functions but the MQTT init is the one that fails:

I have an Arduino Mega with Ethernet connected to a router by cable. Also I have a PC connected to the router (byWifi) where the local MQTT broker is installed (mosquitto). Altought the Arduino Ethernet connection seems ok, the MQTT connection does not: I get the return code -2
