         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3
                  (Registration Statement No. 333-124920)
                  Covering 5,972,865 Shares of Common Stock
                  -----------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel for netGuru, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("netGuru"), in connection with the preparation of Amendment No. 1 to a
registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by
netGuru with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the public
resale by certain selling security holders (collectively, the "Selling
Shareholders") of up to 5,972,865 shares of netGuru common stock, par value
$0.01 per share ("Shares"). Such Registration Statement was filed on or about
July 21, 2005.

         In connection with rendering the opinion as set forth below, we have
reviewed (a) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; (b) netGuru's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended; (c) netGuru's Bylaws; (d) certain
records of netGuru's corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and
(e) such statutes, records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. We
have also obtained from an officer of the netGuru a certificate as to certain
factual matters and, insofar as this opinion is based on matters of fact, we
have relied on such certificate without independent investigation.

         We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals, and conformity with the original
documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have made
such other examinations of law and fact as we have deemed relevant in order to
form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.

         Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the
opinion that, upon completion of the proceedings being taken or contemplated by
netGuru or us, as its counsel, (i) the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Shareholders presently owned have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and (ii) the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Shareholders upon conversion of the promissory notes and the exercise of the
warrants and options, in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of netGuru, upon the payment of due consideration and in accordance
with The terms of the applicable agreements and charter documents of netGuru,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the references to this firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not
thereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Act, or the General Rules and Regulations of the
Commission.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     /S/ RICHARDSON & PATEL LLP
