--==========754F600FF4B9DC64A4CB========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I'm setting up a new server (Dell 1950) that has a DRAC card. My home=20 network (where I'm working on it in my spare time) is behind a wireless=20 router, and the internal network is 192.168.2.0/24. The DRAC card's IP=20 address is 192.168.2.120 (gateway is 192.168.2.1. Mask is 255.255.255.0.)=20 I can access the DRAC card from the server that it's on (through its IP -=20 192.168.2.120), and I can access it from my Windows workstation that is=20 plugged in to the router just like the DRAC card is (RJ45 cable.) I'm=20 pretty sure the router's interface is switched (not a hub.) I cannot access the DRAC card from my Mac OS X laptop, which is on the=20 wireless network and has an address of 192.168.2.102. When I try to ping=20 the DRAC card from the Mac, I get "No route to host. Host is down". If I=20 ping it from the server or from the Windows box, it responds fine. This makes no sense to me. If anyone has a bright ideas what I'm missing,=20 I'm all ears. One other thing. Using the console redirection through the web interface=20 (which forces you to use IE and an ActiveX control!), I can see the console = fine, but the keyboard and mouse (on the Windows box) don't do anything. I = can still login through the USB keyboard attached to the server, and I can=20 see the virtualy keyboard and mouse being detected (looking at the console=20 messages.) Has anyone gotten console redirection working (to include keyboard and=20 mouse functionality)?
