Ethernet Automation

I am looking for a CHEAP and EASY way of making a device. What I want to do is have something like XPORT (may be what I need to use) that I can assign and IP address onto. Add a little web code and when someone access's the webpage, I want them to be able to click a button, link what ever and cause a relay to be toggled.

Basically something like this, I access a webpage (which is my device) click a button on that page and a connected relay on the other end closes.

Any advice on a simple way of making this happen? Also, please keep in mind that I an new to the microcontroller and may struggle a little.

Maybe a TINI module from Maxim-Dallas?

I brought a NETIOM board from

Netiom is a stand-alone network aware Input / Output module which can be controlled over most networks including the Internet. It can be accessed from the Internet over a standard ADSL or other always on connection making remote monitoring and control a cost effective option.

It is Network control module £69.00 (excl. VAT)

I uploades some javascript to it. I could include the javascript in my web page and use it to read the inputs and counts.

While I haven't used this device, it looks to be an alternative to the X-Port:

The Silicon Labs CP210x devices.

Its another Ethernet to RS232 device. Connect the RS232 to a PIC (or some other RS232 ready microcontroller) to control discrete or analog lines.
