5 wires unipolar stepper motor + L298?


hi, i'm totally new controlling stepper motors (i know how dcs), , have problem :

i have unipolar stepper motor : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/high-quality-stepper-motor-12v-p-335.html?cpath=39_40
and driver : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/datasheet/l298%20dual%20h-bridge%20motor%20driver%20datasheet.pdf

and don't know how wire , control arduino, after seeing many things on internet, connected 4 wires "stepping motor" pins on of driver , :
ea 1 arduino pin , eb 1 other (but that's 2, , people did 2 on others drivers , others 4.... confused , don't know right way wire it),
vms connected 12v external source, gnd arduino grnd , +5v arduino's +5v...

my code 1 mentioned on page : http://arduino.cc/en/tutorial/motorknob without potentiometer thing, nothing working , since i'm not sure connections...

if give me tips, tell me how or point stuff did wrong, appreciate.

thanks :)

normally 5-wire unipolar drive only, since 2 windings joined together.

with little care can drive such motor bipolar, have ensure common
wire isn't carrying current between windings - can either drive both windings simultaneously
at times (so common wire @ v/2), or turn off 1 winding (all 4 switches off)
rather other "off" setting - way off winding floating.

you'll still transient currents between windings may cause issue - general
rule 5-wire motors unipolar (4-wire motors bipolar , 6- , 8-wire motors are
either).
