Now when i run the above code i got en error like

 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:352:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: no address
 associated with hostname. (SocketError)

Try this:

require 'net/telnet'
ip="192.168.1.5"
localhost = Net::Telnet::new("Host" => "#{ip}", "Timeout" => 50, "Prompt" => /[$%#>] \z/n)
localhost.login("ziad", "ziad") { |c| print c }
