using the wl-520gu w/ arduino question

Hi, I have an arduino mega that is connected with the rx/tx/gnd from the 520gu. I have the newest Backfire 10.03 on there and all the network stuff works fine. I'm not sure if this question is directly correlated to this project but here goes. I'm trying to set my arduino up so that I can telnet to it by telneting to the router on a certain port (telnet 192.168.0.1 3000). I have ser2net installed but what else do I need to add/change to communicate with the arduino via a network. BTW I have followed this tutorial pretty closely (http://takenapart.com/?p=3). Thanks for any help in advance.

You need a program that will communicate from the telnet server listening on that port to the serial port on the router. I'm not familiar with ser2net, but based on the project description on sourceforge it looks like a good candidate.

You say you followed the tutorial on takenapart.com - to me this looks like it will get you to exactly where you are trying to go.

What is not working? Are you having problems with the hardware or software side of things? If there is an issue with a step in the tutorial, have you tried contacting the author?
