Hello all! This is my first post on the forum. I look forward to collaborating with you all. I have done some basic Arduino development in the past. However, I am now ready to undertake some more serious development. The project I have in mind relies on using the Arduino Ethernet Shield to assist in control of Servo's and Motor's via a telnet, or web interface.
Does anyone else have experience with controlling devices via Arduino Ethernet? I have looked through Google, but have not found a good resource to start from. I would greatly appreciate anyone providing input, or pushing me in the right direction.
I would like to eventually be able to control two servo's, and two gear motors (via H-Bridge) over a web interface. If possible, I would also like to print output from a sonar sensor to the same web interface.

Really? Controlling things (usually LEDs) through the internet is probably the most common project you find when it comes to an Arduino with Ethernet capabilities.
Simple web server test code that includes a servo.

//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
