Arduino fails to connect with ethernet client

In this GET request , I dont need an answer from the server , so the loop function is empty.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED};
IPAddress ip;
byte localIp[] = {192,168,1,181};
EthernetClient client;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Ethernet.begin(mac , localIp);
  delay(1000);//give ethernet time to boot?
  byte x[] = { 192,168,1,1 };//my pc , running SimpleHTTPServer (python)
       client.connect(x , 8000);
       delay(1000);
       if(client.connected()){
        Serial.println("connected"); //does never print
       }
}

void loop()
{

}

The webserver of my pc does not receive any connection requests or so.

Your sample is not even compilable. Here you are fixed version.

After you connect you better close connection with client.stop() otherwise some simple servers might not be listening for a new connection and are still waiting data to come on the previous connection.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED};
IPAddress ip;
IPAddress localIp (192,168,1,181);
EthernetClient client ;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Ethernet.begin(mac , localIp);
  char x[] = "192.168.1.1" ;//my pc , running SimpleHTTPServer (python)  
  client.connect(x , 8000);
  if( client.connected() ){
    Serial.println("connected"); //does never print
  }
  client.println ("Hellou world from Arduino!") ;
  client.stop();       
}

void loop()
{

}
