This is the first in a series of Ethernet projects. This first project will display the values coming from the analog ports in a web browser on a remote machine. Additional posts will cover controlling the Arduino from a web browser, and reading and writing to the SD card for logging purposes. Stay tuned!
I popped a Arduino EtherShield SD on to an older Duemilanove (328), and loaded the following sketch. I changed the MAC address to the one printed on the bottom of my EtherShield, and put in a applicable IP address from my network. When I pointed my browser to the new IP address, I got the following output:

analog input 0 is 1023
analog input 1 is 0
analog input 2 is 1023
analog input 3 is 771
analog input 4 is 551
analog input 5 is 437
This makes sense, because I have A0 and A2 connected to 5v, A1 connected to Gnd, and A3-A5 are left floating, and the values change every second or so.

/*
Web Server
A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.
Circuit:
* Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
* Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)
