I'm actually using the WIZnet W550io Ethernet module.
What is the simplest way to tell if the Ethernet module has a internet connection?
JackJamesHoward-
http://www.espruino.com/WIZnet has example code
Request some simple page like http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt (the one Gordon uses in his 8266 example)

Have you verified that the ESP8266 is able to connect to the internet and do get requests? That's a good thing to check first.
(edit: if using ESP8266 only - didn't know you were using wiznet) Did you put a cap on across power + ground (there are pads for a 1210 cap on the shim - I think you can (with awkward part placement) get a cap as small as 805 across those pads). Ceramic cap in value 1uf to 10-20uf
